Greenfield, Ind.,' Aug,, 17.--(By
Central" press, )-r-Thia little Indi
ana, town has at last realized, its
dream..'. s,; . . . - ,;
, For years H has wanted to erect
some sort, of lasting memorial to
its favorite son, James Whitcomb
Riley, th,e Poet who is often called
"America's Robert Burns."
AnaV. now the boyhood Play
ground of Riley is beingthrown
open as a public park. - ;
The 40-acre tract includes the
'old swimminn.hole" made ,fam;
ous in ioetry by the Hoosler laur-
The para: Is along Brantrwlne
creek, which was the favorite
haunt of Riley when a carefree
youth." . " ' -,v ;
"A' poet of the people, his own
people, was r James Whitcomb
Riley." says Greenfield. "Dream
ing their dreams, singing : their
songs, sharing' their Joys, sorrows
and fancies, he touched ' these
things with the' wand of his great
genius and enshrined them in the
heart of the nation, '
! "He was ; to American poetry
what .Mark" Twain was to Ameri
can prose. .
"One measure or his success,
but by no means the greatest, may
be. gauged by the fact that he was
one of the few Americans who.
having devoted their lives to po
etry, was able to gain a' fortune
by it. " . "i .' .' ' ' -
"Not only in America, but in all
the world, having children claimed
Riley, as their own.
"All the sorrows, the happiness
and the joy of existence, have been
exercised in his pages, and count
less thousands have laughed and
cried over them. .......
"He is the most widely read and
best beloved of the singers of
America. i
"Riley never . married, but he
was a lover of children, whose
spirit he divined so intimately."
Perhaps some of the "Literary
Critics" do not agree,' but, Green
field observes, what, deos it mat
ter what the critics think, if the
children love Jim Riley?
Looked like a baby river that
laying- fast asleep, x' y j .
And the gurgle" of the, worter
round the drift jest below
Sounded like the laugh of .some?
thing we onc't.ust t know
Before' Wf could remember any-
-thlng bat the 'eyes' '
Of the angels lookln out. as we
left . raradist i ;v . , - , 1
But the merxy days of Youth la
. beyond oar control. I
And It's hard to part forever with
the old swimmin' hole.
Oh! the old swimmin' hole!
the happy' days of yore.
When I ust to lean above it! on
'the old sicamore.'' r j
Oh! it showed me a face to fts
warni sunny tide
That gazed back-at me sogay and
glorified..
It made me love myself ms I'leaped
to caress - ' 1
My shadder smilln' up at me with
.- slch tenderness.
But them days is past and gone.
and old Time's tuck his toll
From the old man come back to
the old swimmin hole.
' '
Oh! the old swimmin.' hole! When
I last saw the place.
The scene was all changed.
. the change in my face;
The bridge of the railroad now
"" crosses the spot
Where the old divln' log lays sunk
' and forgot. V j
And I stray down the banks where
the trees ust to be
But never again will theyr shade
shelter me! " '
And I wishln my sorrow I could
strip to the soul.
And dive off in my grave like the
old swimmin' hole.
