Archibald Lampman (November 17, 1861 - February 10, 1899) was a Canadian poet. He was born at Morpeth, Ontario, a village near Chatham. Lampman attended Trinity College (now part of the University of Toronto). In 1883, after a brief and unsuccessful attempt at teaching high school in Orangeville, Ontario, Lampman took an appointment as a low-paid clerk in the Post Office Department, Ottawa, a position he held for the rest of his life. Lampman associated with Charles G. D. Roberts, Susanna Moodie, Catherine Parr Traill, Duncan Campbell Scott, and Wilfred Campbell. He was one of the Confederation Poets and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1895. Lampman died in Ottawa at the age of 37. He is widely regarded as Canada's finest 19th century English language poet. Works by Archibald Lampman
