Romanticism can be seen in dark literature such as The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In this book the author expresses a great deal of creativity and individualism as he depicts the life of a woman who bares a child from an adulterous relationship.
The poem Rondel by late poet Kevin Nicholas Roberts of the 21st century was greatly influenced by romanticism.
Our time has passed on swift and careless feet,
With sighs and smiles and songs both sad and sweet.
Our perfect hours have grown and gone so fast,
And these are things we never can repeat.
Though we might plead and pray that it would last,
Our time has passed.
Like shreds of mist entangled in a tree,
Like surf and sea foam on a foaming sea,
Like all good things we know can never last,
Too soon we'll see the end of you and me.
Despite the days and realms that we amassed,
Our time has passed.
