The word “Mezzo” means middle and “cammin” is a city in Germany. The time period that the poem was released in 1842, during that time he was in Europe.

I don’t agree with the poem with what he thinks of himself. Because he was a strong poet, who marked America and showed us how literature should be appreciated.
