Riley Songs of Home by James Whitcomb Riley is a collection of poems about the midwestern United States. Excerpt: "We must get home! How could we stray like this?— So far from home, we know not where it is,— Only in some fair, apple-blossomy place Of children's faces—and the mother's face— We dimly dream it, till the vision clears Even in the eyes of fancy, glad with tears. We must get home—for we have been away So long, it seems forever and a day! And O so very homesick we have grown, The laughter of the world is like a moan In our tired hearing, and its song as vain,— We must get home—we must get home again!"
