Susanna Moodie

Susanna Moodie (née Strickland, 1803–1885) was an English-born writer, one of the Strickland sisters, who emigrated to Upper Canada in 1832 and described the settler's life in Roughing It in the Bush (1852). She also published verse, beginning with Enthusiasm, and Other Poems (1831).

The poems given here are taken from The Oxford Book of Canadian Verse, chosen by Wilfred Campbell (Toronto: Oxford University Press, 1913).
