Original. Thanatopsis Liedtext. To him who in the love of Nature holds. Communion with her visible forms, she speaks. A various language; for his gayer hours. She has a voice of gladness, and a smile. And eloquence of beauty, and she glides. Into his darker musings, with a mild. And healing sympathy, that steals away.

" Thanatopsis " is an early poem by the American poet William Cullen Bryant. Meaning 'a consideration of death', the word is derived from the Greek 'thanatos' (death) and 'opsis' (view, sight).
It is Bryant's most famous poem and has endured in popularity due its nuanced depiction of death and its expert control of meter, syntax, imagery, and other poetic devices. The poem gives voice to the despair people feel in contemplating death, then finds peace by viewing death as a harmonious part of nature.
‘Thanatopsis’ was written around 1813 when Bryant was a very young man, around nineteen. It is his most famous and enduring poem, often cited for its skillful depiction and contemplation of death. The syntax, imagery, and diction all work together to describe death in a clear and relatable way.
