JAMES WHITCoMB RILEY.

Just a singer, not seer,
Nor a sage with mystic scroll.
Nor a saint with daring guesses
AT the riddle of the soul;
But a modest word-musician,
With his hand upon the keys,
That emanCipate the voices
OF tho rivers and the trees.
And we cheer him and Tever him,
And forgot the poets art
in tho MuId song, like bind song,
That rises from his heart.
Not n fiction, nor fable
DO the Grecian poets tell
OF their Orpheus, who was followed
BY the summit and the dell;
For We know dear magician,
With dominion over words
That I'm sorrows bleakest winter
Bring the blossoms and the birds.
And We laud him and applaud him,
and forget the poets art,
In the word song, like bird song,
That rises frcm his hesrt.
There's another, stranger story,
That the wise today deride,
or how Orpheus played in hades,
And was given back his bride.
Yet I've heard human singer
OF the simple songs of truth
Who can give us back the sunshine
OF the buried days OF youth.
And we cheer him and revere him,
And forget the poets art,
In the word song. like bird song,
That rises from his heart.
