Hannah Flagg Gould (September 3, 1789 – September 5, 1865) was a 19th-century American poet.Her father had been a soldier in the American Revolutionary War, and after her mother's death, she became his constant companion, which accounts for the patriotism of her earlier verses.
Gould's poems were short, but they were frequently nearly perfect in their kind.Nearly all of them appeared originally in annuals, magazines, and other miscellanies, and their popularity was shown by the subsequent sale of several collective editions.
Her work exercised a helpful influence in its day, but lacked staying qualities.The high-water mark of her verse was reached in the poem entitled "A Name in the Sand".
