full_question: A poem by this man that notes that "Soft airs, and song, and light, and bloom" should keep friends "lingering by my tomb" was praised by Edgar Allan Poe in "The Poetic Principle". Another of his poems contains the line "Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again", which was quoted by MLK Jr. in his "Give Us the Ballot" speech. This author of "June" and "Battle-field" gained early popularity with a political satire that opens with the couplet "When private faith and public trust are sold, and traitors barter liberty for gold". He wrote a poem that describes a "a Power whose care / teaches thy way along that pathless coast" and asks its addressee if it "seek'st" the "plashy brink". That poem by this man notes that "the abyss of heaven / Hath swallowed up" the title figure, who is asked "whither, midst falling dew [...] dost thou pursue thy solitary way?" For 10 points, name this author of the anti-Jeffersonian poem "The Embargo," a longtime editor of the New York Evening Post whose poems include "To a Waterfowl."
