Richard Henry Stoddard

Richard Henry Stoddard (July 2, 1825 – May 12, 1903) was an American critic and poet.  More important than his critical was his poetical work, which at its best is sincere, original and marked by delicate fancy, and felicity of form; and his songs have given him a high and permanent place among American lyric poets.
