American
Fitz-Greene Halleck
Fitz-Greene Halleck (1790–1867) was an American poet, born at Guilford, Connecticut. He worked as a clerk and later as a business agent for John Jacob Astor in New York, and wrote satirical verse with Joseph Rodman Drake as the “Croakers”.
His elegy on Drake, “Green be the turf above thee”, and the ballad “Marco Bozzaris” were among the most admired American poems of the early nineteenth century.
