 Charles G. D. Roberts
Roberts enlisted in September, 1914, as a trooper in the Legion of Frontiersmen.
But the evidence is conclusive that Charles Mair and Isabella Valancy Crawford preceded him in the writing and publishing of great verse, whether in the interpretation and description of nature or of human life.
Roberts, who has never quite lost his first love for the grand style, was quick to profit by the lesson, and uses this high but somewhat artificial form as a mould in which to pour his tenderest memories of the scenes familiar to his youth on the coast of New Brunswick.

 Charies G.D. Roberts' "The Tantramar Revisited"
Roberts serves the reader’s ear notice of what, in effect, is the imaginative adventure of the poem: the speaker’s discovery of the disjunction between his expectation and the reality, between his expectation that the marshlands have not been affected by Time and the reality that, of course, they have.
In his 1961 paper on “Sir Charles G.D. Roberts” Pacey assembles several specific instances of the way in which the poet’s metrical and verbal skill allows him accurately to depict features of his beloved boyhood landscape: the word “Laboring” in the first stanza, says Pacey, is “calculated exactly to summon up the picture of.
Roberts’ iterative use of word, phrase, image and, of course, syntax too is precise as well as evocative; its purpose is not just to lend design and structure to the poem but also to evoke a sense of the particular locale under observation and a sense of the speaker’s emotional response to it.
