The Backwoodsman Poem and Its Ohio River Vision
In this excerpt from American poetry, the speaker extols the backwoodsman and his family afloat on the Ohio River. The vivid descriptions contrast the empty wilderness with distant towns like St. Louis, while reflections on nature, fear, and the soul’s reach toward love and heaven punctuate the landscape. The verse contemplates humanity, dwelling, and the mind’s ascent beyond earthly confines. The poem juxtaposes frontier life with existential reverie, culminating in thoughts on love and divine presence.
