RILEY'S FIRST POEM APPEARED
IN 1870
James Witcomb Riley 's first printed
poem papeared September 7, 1870, the
year he was 17, in the Poet's Corner
of the Greenfield (Ind.) Commercial.
It was entitled: "The Same Old
Story.":
The same old story told again
The maiden drops her head,
The ripening glow of her crimson cheek
Is answering in her stead.
The pleading tone of a trembling voice
Is telling her the way
He loved her whenTiis heart was young
In Youth's sunshiny day;
The trembling tongue, the longing tone,
Imploringly asks why
They can not be as happy now
As in the days gone by.
And two more hearts tumultous
With overflowing joy
Are dancing to the music
Which that dear provoking
Is twanging on his bow string,
As, fluttering his wings,

connected with the Commonwealth j While merrily he sings:
