How Little Brown Hands,
Came to Be Written

Brown Hands is still remembered and
used n many school books. 1t has been
widely read and published. -
The Poem as It Was Written.
The book from which Miss Krout
read the poem was published in 1874
in a collection of poems under the
title FChld Life" edited by J. q.
Whittier. The poem follows:
LITTLE BROWN HANDS.
They drive home the COWS from the
pasture,
Up through the long shady lane,
Where the quail whistles loud in the
wheat fields,
That are yellow with ripening grain.
They find. in the thick waving grasses,
Where the scarlet-Hpped strawberry
grows.
They gather the EARLIEST snowdrops.
And the first crimson buds of the
rose.
They toss the new hay in the meadow
They gather the eIder-bloom white;
They find where the dusky grapes
purple
In the soft-tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang
And are sweeter than ItaIv's wines;
They know where the fruit hangs
thickest
On the long, thorny blackberry

One Of the pleasing features of the
teachers institute was the talk given
by Miss Mary Hannah Krout, in which
she told how she happened to write
her famous child's poem, "Little
Brown Hands" Miss Krout conduct
ed the opening exercises Friday morn
ing. says the Charlottesville Indiana)
Review, Of October IA. She recited her
poem for the teachers.
The circumstances under which she
wrote the poem, when a schoolgirl
in this city, were related most inter
estingIv. Miss Krout said that one
morning. when a girl of only fifteen, she
was washing dishes in the kitchen at
her home, when somehow the expires
sion "the scarlet-lipped strawberry
came into her mind. There was sick
ness in her family at the time and
she thought of how the little hands
helped do the work. Gradually, a
theme for poem came to her.
After having finished washing dish
es, Miss Krout said. II went into
the parlor, sat down on the floor and
began writing the poem. 1t took me
two or three hours to write it. When
it was finished, | decided / wouIdn t
show it to my father, who was a severe
critic of my feeble efforts at writing
at that early age. l knew it WASH I
