Poems by James Whitcomb Riley
"Friday Afternoon"
... [1868-1870] Of the wealth of facts and fancies ...
His Mother's Way
... "-- _He_ lived hard-like--never jined ...
A Dream Of Long Ago
... Trees that hold their tempting treasures ...
The Old Year And The New
... Sweet looks like sunshine, now were dull, ...
Elmer Brown
... Wunst when his Aunt's all dressed to call, ...
Wet Weather Talk
... When God sorts out the weather and sends rain, ...
Cousin Rufus' Story
... Far Down some back-street he heard the faint halloo ...
A Dubious "Old Kriss"
... Though, say she know it "_ain't_ Old Kriss-- ...
Floretty's Musical Contribution
... They heard Bud's voice, pitched sharp and thin and high ...
A Worn-Out Pencil
... When you wrote your earliest rhyme!-- ...
Over The Eyes Of Gladness
... . . Two buds on the bough in the morning-- ...
The Katydids
... And so, I think, they're _singing_ then! ...
The Orchard Lands Of Long Ago
... That drenched the leaves that loved it so, ...
Autumn
... Singing twank and twang of strings-- ...
The Happy Little Cripple
... An' they all says: "Cause you're so big, you think we're 'feared o' you!" ...
