The great difference between 19th-century Canadian poetry and its American counterpart is that there is no tradition of pastoral poetry in the U.S., aside from the garden poems of Emily Dickinson, whose work was almost entirely unknown until the 20th century. The only American poems dealing directly with nature that were commonly read during the 19th century were John Greenleaf Whittier’s "Snow-Bound" and Sidney Lanier’s "The Marshes of Glynn" and these are still read today. One finds little in Emerson, Longfellow, or Poe, for example. There is no American Lampman.
