Archibald Lampman was a Canadian poet. "He has been described as'the Canadian Keats. The Canadian Encyclopedia says that he is "generally considered the finest of Canada's late 19th-century poets in English."Lampman is classed as one of Canada's Confederation Poets, a group which includes Charles G. D. Roberts, Bliss Carman, Duncan Campbell Scott. Archibald Lampman was born at Morpeth, Ontario, a village near Chatham, the son of Archibald Lampman, an Anglican clergyman. "The Morpeth that Lampman knew was a small town set in the rolling farm country of what is now western Ontario, not far from the shores of Lake Erie. The little red church just east of the town, on the Talbot Road, was his father's charge."In 1867 the family moved to Gore's Landing on Rice Lake, where young Archie Lampman attended at the Barron's School. In 1868 he contracted rheumatic fever, which left him lame for some years and with a permanently weakened heart. Lampman attended Cobourg Collegiate, followed by Trinity College School in Port Hope and Trinity College in Toronto, graduating in 1882.

While at university, he published early poems in Acta Victoriana, the literary journal of Victoria College. In 1883, after a frustrating attempt to teach high school in Orangeville, Ontario, he took an appointment as a low-paid clerk in the Post Office Department in Ottawa, a position he held for the rest of his life. Lampman "was slight of middle height, he had a fascinating personality. Sincerity and high ideals characterized his life and work."On Sep. 3, 1887, Lampman married 20-year-old Maude Emma Playter. "They had a daughter, Natalie Charlotte, born in 1892. Arnold Gesner, born May 1894, was the first boy. A third child, Archibald Otto, was born in 1898." In Ottawa, Lampman became a close friend of Indian Affairs bureaucrat Duncan Campbell Scott. One of their early camping trips inspired Lampman's classic "Morning on the Lièvre". Lampman met and befriended poet William Wilfred Campbell. Lampman and Scott together wrote a literary column, "At the Mermaid Inn," for the Toronto Globe from February 1892 until July 1893.

As Lampman wrote to a friend: Campbell is deplorably poor.... In order to help his pockets a little Mr. Scott and I decided to see if we could get the Toronto "Globe" to give us space for a couple of columns of paragraphs & short articles, at whatever pay we could get for them, they agreed to it. "In the last years of his short life there is evidence of a spiritual malaise, compounded by the death of an infant son and his own deteriorating health." Lampman died in Ottawa at the age of 37 due to a weak heart, an after-effect of his childhood rheumatic fever. He is buried, fittingly, at Beechwood Cemetery, in Ottawa, a site he wrote about in the poem "In Beechwood Cemetery", his grave is marked by a natural stone on, carved only one word: Lampman. A plaque on the site carries a few lines from his poem "In November": In May 1881, when Lampman was at Trinity College, someone lent him a copy of Charles G. D. Roberts's published first book and Other Poems; the effect on the 19-year-old student was immediate and profound: I sat up most of the night reading and re-reading "Orion" in a state of the wildest excitement and when I went to bed I could not sleep.

It seemed to me a wonderful thing that such work could be done by a Canadian, by a young man, one of ourselves. It was like a voice from some new paradise of art, doing. A little after sunrise I got up and went out into the college grounds... everything was transfigured for me beyond description, bathed in an old world radiance of beauty. I have never forgotten that morning, its influence has always remained with me. Lampman sent Roberts a fan letter, which "initiated a correspondence between the two young men, but they did not meet until after Roberts moved to Toronto in late September 1883 to become the editor of Goldwin Smith's The Week."Inspired, Lampman began writing poetry, soon after began publishing it: first "in the pages of his college magazine, Rouge et Noir. "The prime literary antecedents of Lampman lie in the work of the English poets Keats and Arnold," says the Gale Encyclopedia of Biography, "but he brought new and distinctively Canadian elements to the tradition. Lampman, like others of his school, relied on the Canadian landscape to provide him with much of the imagery and philosophy which characterize his work....

Acutely observant in his method, Lampman created out of the minutiae of nature careful compositions of color and subtle movement. Evocatively rich, his poems are sustained by a mood of revery and withdrawal, while their themes are those of beauty, wi
