Poems

"Poems" by Samuel G. Goodrich presents a collection of verses from the 1800s that captures the essence of the romantic era. With creative language, the mind of the poet is on display through poems about nature, feelings, and being human. The poems include fairies and amazing landscapes, and ask the deeper questions of human life. The pieces at the beginning, like "Birth-night of the Humming Birds," gives the reader a view into fairies dancing in the moonlight, while "Lake Superior," shows the beauty of nature. Through these poems, Goodrich sets the stage for an exploration of nature and human reflection on life, death, and memories.

Samuel Griswold Goodrich, better known under his pseudonym Peter Parley, was an American author.
