Poems by James Whitcomb Riley
A Country Pathway
... Where King Corn's armies lie with flags unfurled, ...
A Dream

... We prove a thing, then doubt it,-- ...

... We hear the birds with wonder, and with wonder watch their flight-- ...
Mr. What's-His-Name
... With reverence,--Aye, _quailed_ and _wept_! ...

... To say you've drinked _two_ cups, you see,-- ...

... Fame crossed the threshold of the hall, ...

... With the dew-drench on the flowers ...
When Age Comes On
... . . Old loves, old friends--all dead and gone-- ...

... Canned _black_ burry-pie an' _goose_ ...

... -- "_There!_ head him off! _Now!_ hold him in his chair!-- ...
