SiegfriedMag: This is Archibald Lampman. Our early readers may recognize his name from our first issue of last December, where we featured Lampman’s poem “Snow.”

BeechwoodOttawa: As Archibald Lampman's poem - In Beechwood Cemetery says Here the dead sleep--the quiet dead. No sound Disturbs them ever, and no storm dismays. Winter mid snow caresses the tired ground, And the wind roars about the woodland ways.
