OF INTEREST IN THE
ES=== SOCIAL REALM
James Whitcomb Riley, Poet
of Country Life
James Whitcomb Riley, who
died in Indiana the other day,
was born and bred one of the
.plain country people of the Mid
dle West, and no other poet has
probably so beautifully voiced
the joys and sorrows of the folks
'he loved. The poem, “Ike Wal
ton’s Prayer,” expresses in rare
ly beautiful language one of the
fundamental virtues of our coun
try people—love of home, of wife
and little ones:—
“The cricket’s call and the wee cot,
Dear Lord of all, deny me not!”
There seems almost a tragedy
in the fact that the poet whose
heart went out so warmly to all
children had himself no child.
The idea occurs in touching lan
guage in his poem, “Bereaved”:—
“Let me come in where you sit weep
ing—aye,
Let me, who have not any child to die,
HVeep with you for the little one whose
love
I have known nothing of.
“The little arms that slowly, slowly
loosed
Their pressure round your neck; the
hands that you used
To lass —such arms—such hands I nev
er knew.
May I not weep with you?
4‘Fain would I be of service—say some
thing,
Between the tears, that would be com
forting—
But ah, so sadder than yourselves
* am I,
Who have no child to die.”
