One poem by this author closes "The self-same power that brought me here brought you" and is addressed to a "rival of the rose" and "purple shrub" that the narrator finds in a forest. A different poem by this author is set "On this green bank, by this soft stream" where a votive stone is put down. He wrote a poem about a creature that meditates on "the fate of the man-child the meaning of man" before asking "Who'll tell me my secret?" This author of "The Sphinx" created a speaker who holds the title objects to the sun and states "they are drops of frozen wine [that] from Eden's vats that run." In addition to writing "Rubies" and "The Rhodora," he set another of his poems "by the rude bridge that arched the flood Â… where once, the embattled farmers stood and fired the shot heard round the world." For 10 points, identify this poet of "The Concord Hymn," who also wrote "Self-Reliance" and "The Oversoul."
