<p>Hey all, </p>

<p>I’ve been trying to remember the name of this poem that I used to like so much and I was wondering if you all can help.</p>

<p>It’s a poem of a well-known transcendentalist that talked about the meaning of life and whatnot. I know it’s vague, but I also remember the title being something-sis (for example, metamorpho-sis ). </p>

<p>The writer also traveled a lot with his father as a youth, if I remember correctly. Thanks for your help in advance.</p>

<p>“Thanatopsis” by William Cullen Bryant. It was my grandfather’s favorite poem, one he recited often by memory. Granddad had a 6th grade education and was born in the 1880s.</p>
