Three Great Poems: Thanatopsis, Flood of Years and Among the Trees by William Cullen Bryant is a collection of three of Bryant's most famous and celebrated poems. Thanatopsis is a meditation on death and the natural cycle of life, while Flood of Years is a reflection on the passage of time and the rise and fall of civilizations. Among the Trees is a lyrical ode to the beauty and majesty of nature. Bryant's language is rich and evocative, and his themes are timeless and universal. This book is a must-read for lovers of poetry and anyone interested in exploring the depths of the human experience.1877. Illustrated by W.J. Linton and J. McEntee. William Cullen Bryant was an American poet and editor. At one time, he practiced law, but later devoted himself entirely to writing. He began his career with Thanatopsis (or View of Death), a boyhood piece which astonished America when it was published in 1817, and which has ever since been a favorite with readers. The idea of the poem, that the earth is a vast sepulcher of human life, was borrowed from other poets; but the stately blank verse and the noble appreciation of nature are Bryant's own. The Flood of Years was written when he was a sage of eighty. Among the Trees is one of his best nature poems.
