Written only a few short years before his death at age 39, “The Marshes of Glynn” is one of the most well-remembered poems by American poet Sidney Lanier. Filled with emotion and vibrant literary imagery, Lanier describes the peace and calm he found amongst the marshes as he battled not only the demons haunting his memory but the disease which would soon claim his life.
