One of the most popular poets in American history, James Whitcomb Riley was born in Greenfield, Indiana, the second son and third of six children raised by Reuben A.(a Civil War veteran and lawyer)and Elizabeth (Marine) Riley. At an early age Riley discovered that he disliked the "iron discipline" of school life but enjoyed books. As a child, Riley often accompanied his father (a noted political orator) on trips to the Hancock County courthouse, where he observed the manners and mores of country society, as well as the countrified dialect he later used in his poetry. In his own words he did a little of a number of things fairly well. He sang, played the guitar and violin, acted, painted signs and wrote poetry. His father did not encourage his verse-making for he thought it too visionary, and being a visionary himself, he believed he understood the dangers of following the promptings of the poetic temperament. He doubted if anything would come of the verse-writing himself.

James Whitcomb Riley James Whitcomb Riley (1849-1916) was born in Greenfield Indiana. He was a regular contributor of poetry to the Indianapolis Daily Journal. In his writing, Riley recorded the speech of a community of rural speakers of the Hoosier dialect. The Tree-Toad "Scur'ous-like," said the tree-toad, "I've twittered fer rain all day; And I got up soon, And hollered tel noon But the sun, hit blazed away, Tel I jest clumb down in a crawfish-hole, Weary at hart, and sick at soul! "Dozed away fer an hour, And I tackled the thing ag'in: And I sung, and sung, Tel I knowed my lung, Was jest about give in; And then , thinks I, ef hit don't rain now They's nothin' in singin', anyhow! "Once't in a while some farmer, Would come a-drivin' past; And he'd hear my cry, And stop and sigh Tel I jest laid back, at last, And I hollered rain tel I thought my th'oat Would bust wide open at ever' note! "But I fetched her!O I fetched her! 'Cause a little while ago, As I kindo' set, With one eye shet, And a-singin' soft and low

James Whitcomb Riley Her Beautiful Hands O YOUR HANDS they are strangely fair! Fair for the jewels that sparkle there, Fair for the witchery of the spell That ivory keys alone can tell; But when their' delicate touches rest Here in my own do I love them best, As I clasp with eager, acquisitive spans My glorious treasure of beautiful hands! Marvelous wonderful beautiful hands! They can coax roses to bloom in the strands Of your brown tresses;and ribbons will twine, Under mysterious touches of thine, Into such knots as entangle the soul And fetter the heart under such a control As only the strength of my love understands My passionate love for your beautiful hands. As I remember the first fair touch Of those beautiful hands that I love so much, I seem to thrill as I then was thrilled, Kissing the glove that I found unfilled When I met your gaze, and the queenly bow, As you said to me, laughingly, "Keep it now!". . . And dazed and alone in a dream I stand, Kissing this ghost of your beautiful hand. When first I loved, in the long ago, And held your hand as I told you so Pressed and caressed it and gave it a kiss And said "I could die for a hand like this!"
