Spring 2001 Classical Poet: Eugene Field (1850-1895) By: John Stewart , Contributing Writer On September 2, 1850, at 634 South Broadway in Saint Louis, MO Eugene Field was born. He had a younger brother named Roswell, and a sister who died soon after her birth. Eugene and his brother were close, but very different. When Eugene was six, his mother died. Eugene's father sent them to live with their cousin, Mary French, in Massachusetts. While living on their cousin's New England farm, at the age of nine Eugene wrote his first poem about their cousin's dog, Fido. At the age of fifteen, Eugene went to a small private school in Massachusetts. There were only five boys in the school, and Eugene loved leading the boys in tricks against the schoolmaster. When Julia turned sixteen, she and Eugene married. Eugene worked for the St. Joseph Gazette and later wrote his poem "The St. Jo Gazette" about this period of his life. He also wrote "With Brutus in St. Jo" about this period of his life. Eugene and Julia had eight children. Two died as babies, another died as a little boy. Eugene Field wrote his poem "Little Boy Blue" about this child. With this knowledge about this poem is a very touching poem. The remaining five grew up and had long lives. Eugene was always a spendthrift and had his pay go directly to his wife Julia. Eugene Field moved from St. Joseph, to work for the Kansas City Star, in 1873 he went to work for the St. Louis Evening Journal. He wrote for the Denver Tribune. He later went to Chicago and wrote the column "Sharps and Flats" for the Chicago Daily News. He had a free hand there to write what he wanted. He wrote and printed many of his poems while working there. He was in the prime of life and at the height of his popularity as a poet, humorist, and lecturer, when he wrote in the character of a veteran bibliomaniac: "I am aweary and will rest a little while; lie thou there, my pen, for a dream-a pleasant dream-calleth me away." A few weeks later on November 4, 1895 Eugene Field passed away at the age of 46. Eugene had predicted that if he lived long enough his best works would be done as a grandfather. Eugene Field never had the opportunity to find out if his prediction was true.

There is one little dream of a beautiful drum There is one little dream of a big sugar-plum, And lo! thick and fast the other dreams come Of popguns that bang, and tin tops that hum, And a trumpet that bloweth!

He had one brother named Roswell, who was one year younger than he, and a sister who died soon after her birth. He and his brother were very close, but very different. Eugene took after their mother, Francis, while Roswell took after their father. Eugene was afraid of the dark while his brother wasn't afraid of anything. Eugene hated studying while Roswell loved it. When the boys were six and five, their mother died. Mr. Field sent them to live with their cousin, Mary French, in Massachusetts until he could take care of them. While living on their cousin's farm, Eugene wrote his first poem . He was nine then, and the poem was about their cousin's dog, Fido.

CHICAGO WEATHER by: Eugene Field (1850-1895) O-DAY, fair Thisbe, winsome girl! Strays o'er the meads where daisies blow, Or, ling'ring where the brooklets purl, Laves in the cool, refreshing flow. To-morrow, Thisbe, with a host Of amorous suitors in her train, Comes like a goddess forth to coast Or skate upon the frozen main. To-day, sweet posies mark her track, While birds sing gayly in the trees; To-morrow morn, her sealskin sack Defies the piping polar breeze. So Doris is to-day enthused By Thisbe's soft, responsive sighs, And on the morrow is confused By Thisbe's cold, repellent eyes. "Chicago Weather" is reprinted from The Poems of Eugene Field .

THE DINKEY BIRD by: Eugene Field (1850-1895) N an ocean, 'way out yonder, (As all sapient people know) Is the land of Wonder-Wander, Whither children love to go; It's their playing, romping, swinging, That give great joy to me While the Dinkey-Bird goes singing In the amfalula tree! There the gum-drops grow like cherries, And taffy's thick as peas Caramels you pick like berries When, and where, and how you please; Big red sugar-plums are clinging To the cliffs beside that sea Where the Dinkey-Bird is singing In the amfalula tree! So when children shout and scamper And make merry all the day, When there's naught to put a damper To the ardor of their play; When I hear their laughter ringing, Then I'm sure as sure can be That the Dinkey-Bird is singing In the amfalula tree! For the Dinkey-Bird's bravuras And staccatos are so sweet His roulades, appoggiaturas, And robustos so complete, That the youth of every nation Be they near or far away Have especial delectation In that gladsome roundelay. Their eyes grow bright and brighter, Their lungs begin to crow

Our little ones are making merry O'er am'rous ditties rhymed in jest, But in these words (though awkward very) The genuine article's expressed. You are as fair and sweet and tender, Dear brown-eyed little sweetheart mine, As when, a callow youth and slender, I asked to be your Valentine. What though these years of ours be fleeting? What though the years of youth be flown? I'll mock old Tempus with repeating, "I love my love and her alone!" And when I fall before his reaping, And when my stuttering speech is dumb, Think not my love is dead or sleeping, But that it waits for you to come. So take, dear love, this little token

THE ANGEL'S VISIT Do I believe in Angels? Yes. And in their prowlings to and fro I entertained one long ago, In guise of age and sore distress. He clambered up the narrow stairs, And by his heavenly smile I knew He was a truant angel who Had come to visit unawares. "Rest thee, old man," I gayly cried, "And share my humble couch and cheer Thou shalt not want for comfort here My home and heart are open wide." Relieved of temporary cares, The old man laid him down and slept; And in my thankfulness I wept I'd entertained him unawares! I never shall forget that night, My happy dreams, my slumbers sound, And when I woke at noon I found My angel vanished out of sight. Perhaps in years that are to be That angel will return, and yet I sometimes fear he may forget To bring my overcoat to me.
