Gertrude of Wyoming: A Pennsylvanian Tale (1809) is a romantic epic in Spenserian stanza composed by the Scottish poet Thomas Campbell (1777–1844). The poem was well received but not a financial success for its author and was written in the context of the Battle of Wyoming. The poem begins: On Susquehanna's side, fair Wyoming! Although the wild-flower on thy ruin'd wall, And roofless homes, a sad remembrance bring, Of what thy gentle people did befall; Yet thou wert once the loveliest land of all That see the Atlantic wave their morn restore. Sweet land! may I thy lost delights recall, And paint thy Gertrude in her bowers of yore, Whose beauty was the love of Pennsylvania's shore!
