Sinopsis
Excerpt from The James Whitcomb Riley Reader: Selected, Graded, and With the Suggestions for the Observance of Riley Day
Thousands of lines as genuine as these were sent to the poet by the children on his last birthday. All of them showed that the celebra tion of Riley Day is a genuine expression.of the love of the children of Indiana for their own Hoosier poet. That such a remembrance pleased him was shown in the note he sent to the children calling himself an elderly child, and in the way he smiled at the long proces sion of young upturned faces marching with greetings and songs and flowers by his home on Lockerbie Street. One week after the joy ous celebration of Riley Day in Indianapolis, the poet received a most generous reception from the schools of Cincinnati as he passed through that city on his way South. There was a half - holiday the children gave Mr. Riley the keys of the city; they sang his songs and recited his poems for him in a beautiful way.

Excerpt from The James Whitcomb Riley Reader: Selected, Graded, and With the Suggestions for the Observance of Riley Day
To James Whitcomb Riley
(On His Book of Joyous Children)
Yours is a garden of old-fashioned flowers;
Joyous children delight to play there;
Weary men find rest in its bowers,
Watching the lingering light of day there.
Old-time tunes and young love-laughter
Ripple and run among the roses;
Memory's echoes, murmuring after,
Fill the dusk when the long day closes.
Simple songs with a cadence olden -
These you learned in the Forest of Arden.
Friendly flowers with hearts all golden -
These you borrowed from Eden's garden.
This is the reason why all men love you;
Truth to life is the finest art;
Other poets may soar above you -
You keep close to the human heart.
Henry van Dyke
