Archibald Lampman 1861-1899 was a Canadian poet. He was born at Morpeth, Ontario, a village near Chatham. He was one of the Confederation Poets and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1895. He is widely regarded as Canadas finest 19th century English language poet. Lampmans poetry concerns Canadas rural life and the wonders of nature and can be compared to British romantic and nature poetry contemporary to his life. Lampmans ability to write detailed, meaningful, poems that depicted traditional Canadian and Native American life was one of his greatest triumphs as a poet and probably one of the reasons why his work has had lasting import in the Canadian canon. Among his famous works are: Among the Millet 1888 , Lyrics of Earth 1895 , Alcyone 1899 Happiness 1925 , and At the Long Sault 1943 .
