1. Joyce Kilmer

2. Joyce Kilmer, in the poem "Trees"

Explanation:

Kilmer's work can be considered one of the last poetry from the Romantic era. His verse was rather conservative and traditional, without breaking any formal rules, and being criticized for being too sentimental.

In his 1913 lyric poem, "Trees", which was published in Poetry: A Magazine of Verse and later in Kilmer's collection Trees and Other Poems, he explores humankind´s inability to create beautiful art when compared to nature´s and godly creations.
