'Why is the earth burdened with gratitude
Forever recalling the name of Uncle Hồ Chí Minh'

(Tố Hữu)

No words can fully capture the greatness of the national leader Hồ Chí Minh. His departure leaves an infinite sorrow within each of us. Poet Viễn Phương expresses that profound grief and empathy through the poem 'Mourning at Bác's Mausoleum.' The third stanza vividly portrays the author's emotions upon entering the mausoleum. The poet doesn't conceal the overwhelming emotions of meeting Bác's mortal remains. Bác lies there as if peacefully asleep, immersed in a tranquil thousand-autumn slumber, finding rest after a long journey of pondering, vigilance, and heartfelt dedication to the people and the nation. 'Seventy-nine springs' symbolize the seventy-nine years of Bác's life, his devotion, and the embellishment he brought to life. The atmosphere inside the mausoleum seems frozen, enhancing the solemnity and reverence. Amidst a gentle shining moon, Bác's face radiates the nobility and serene demeanor of a leader, a nature lover harmonizing with the natural world. The moon, once a companion in the harsh struggle for liberation, now stands guard over Bác's peaceful sleep. 'Blue sky' metaphorically signifies eternal existence. Like the boundless sky of freedom, nature, and the vast universe, Bác will endure through time. Bác, like the blue sky, lives eternally in the hearts of every Vietnamese. On the day of Bác's departure, 'tears fall from life, rain pours from the sky.' It marks a profound loss for the entire nation. The verb 'aches' directly expresses the extreme pain, the wrenching agony, as the entire nation loses a great leader. The metaphorical shift intensifies the sense of loss to its peak. The pairing of 'still' and 'but' reflects the conflict between the author's rational understanding of Bác's eternal departure and the lingering emotional difficulty in accepting this heartbreaking reality. The stanza leaves an enduring sorrow for generations of Vietnamese patriots. Though Bác has gone far, his image remains vivid in the hearts of all of us.

Viễn Phương was one of the earliest contributors to the liberation cultural force in the South during the resistance against the U.S. 'Mourning at Bác's Mausoleum' was composed in April 1976, a year after the liberation of the South and the inauguration of President Hồ Chí Minh's mausoleum. Being one of the first from the South to visit Bác's mausoleum, Viễn Phương, in a deeply moving moment, wrote 'Mourning at Bác's Mausoleum.' The poignant emotions of the author while entering the mausoleum are vividly depicted in the third stanza. Inside the mausoleum, Bác seems to be sinking into a peaceful slumber, returning to the 'world of gentle souls.' Perhaps in that world, Bác finds tranquility, knowing that the country has been unified, and he can finally rest after a lifetime of dedicating himself to the revolution and the nation. Bác's departure leaves an immeasurable sorrow and grief in the hearts of every patriotic Vietnamese. In the solemn and sacred atmosphere, the poet sees Bác lying 'beneath a gentle shining moon.' Mentioning the moon is a tribute to a loyal companion who accompanied Bác throughout the arduous journey: during military discussions, in prison, and on the way to battlefields. Now, the moon sheds its gentle light to envelop and guard Bác's sleep. This imagery helps us, the people 'linked in a chain offering seventy-nine springs,' fully sense the nobility and simplicity of Bác Hồ. The metaphor of the 'blue sky' subtly asserts Bác's eternal and perpetual nature. Bác will merge into the independent, free sky of the nation, enduring alongside the land and people. The poet attempts to restrain the pain and the tearful moments but still feels a 'stabbing in the heart.' That pain is indescribable with words! Our nation has lost a great leader, a 'father,' 'uncle,' and 'elder brother' with a 'big heart enveloped in countless tiny blood vessels' (Tố Hữu). The stanza leaves an enduring sorrow for generations of Vietnamese patriots. Although Bác has traveled far, his image always remains present in the hearts of all of us.

Being one of the poems with a 'precious contribution to the poetic treasury about President Hồ Chí Minh, the great leader and beloved figure of the nation' (Trần Đình Sử), Viễn Phương's 'Mourning at Bác's Mausoleum' has left profound impressions on every patriotic citizen. The author's emotions overflow passionately through the emotionally charged lines in the third stanza of the poem. In the deep heart of someone who reveres Bác like Viễn Phương, Hồ Chí Minh never distances himself from the people or the country. Bác only rests in peaceful sleep, tranquility after a long journey. The moon is gently shining to help Bác sleep peacefully. A person who dedicated every second, every minute to the revolution and the nation now has the chance to rest, but that rest brings profound sorrow to the people of Vietnam. The author silently walks ahead of Bác's mortal remains. The pain tears incessantly at Viễn Phương's heart. If the image of the sun in the second stanza helps us see Bác's greatness, the image of the moon helps us feel the nobility of this eminent figure. With boundless love, the poet can't believe the painful truth that Bác Hồ has departed forever. He immortalizes Bác by allowing him to merge into the endless sky, coexisting with the nation. Despite knowing the eternal nature of the blue sky, Bác always remains in the hearts of all of us, yet the poet can't escape the feeling of a 'stabbing in the heart.' The pain swirls deep, touching the soul. Bác didn't witness the moment of the country's unification, but perhaps in the 'world of gentle souls,' Bác is smiling happily because the revolutionary cause has resoundingly succeeded, rivers and mountains gathering into one destiny. The poem is the choked sob of Viễn Phương two years after the independent nation had the opportunity to visit Bác. With just four succinct verses combined with metaphorical and allegorical techniques, Viễn Phương has made each of our hearts surge with boundless emotion. Bác will always accompany the people of Vietnam on every journey. Bác will always exist in the vibrant flag, in the hearts of millions and millions of Vietnamese people.

Bác Hồ is the great leader of the Vietnamese nation. Among the remarkable poems about him, Viễn Phương's poignant poem, 'Viếng lăng Bác,' stands out. The third stanza highlights the sincere emotions of the poet when facing Bác's remains. In the depths of the author's heart, Bác continues to live on with the nation's rivers and mountains. For the poet, Bác is merely resting in 'peaceful sleep' after tirelessly caring for the people. The image of the moonlight evokes memories of Bác's poetry, where the moon was a loyal companion in all circumstances. Viễn Phương incorporates this image to emphasize that the moon will always accompany Bác in every situation. The metaphor 'blue sky is eternal' accentuates Bác's embodiment in nature, in the land and sky. Bác will live forever in the hearts of the people, like the eternal blue sky above.

Viễn Phương is a representative poet associated with both the resistance against the French and the Americans. His verses are simple yet profound, sincere, and carry the distinct Southern Vietnam flavor. A prime example of such works is 'Viếng lăng Bác.' The poem reflects the author's emotions as he travels from the South to visit Bác's mausoleum. The genuine feelings upon entering the mausoleum are vividly expressed in the third stanza. Inside the mausoleum, the author sees Bác lying in 'peaceful sleep.' The choice of words minimizes the sadness, portraying Bác as resting after immense struggles for the people and the nation.

Viễn Phương recalls the moon, a loyal companion throughout Bác's poetic journey: 'Người ngắm trăng soi ngoài cửa sổ/Trăng nhòm khe cửa ngắm nhà thơ.' The moon symbolizes the elevated and pure soul of Bác. The final two lines of the stanza express the author's pain at the enduring truth of Bác's permanent departure. While reason reminds that Bác lives on eternally with the nation's land and sky, the painful truth of his departure leaves the heart aching.
