Description: Poetical Thoughts. of James Monroe Ritchie. Edited by Byron F. Ritchie. (Byron is the author's son, who put together his father's poetry after the elder Mr. Ritchie's death in 1918. The elder Mr. Ritchie was a lawyer who served in the U.S. Congress, representing Ohio. He wrote poetry to relieve the stresses of his profession. He tried to be anonymous to the public.) Excerpt from Byron's introduction: "Since my father's death, I have been urged by many prominent citizens who were his admiring friends in life, not only to publish his poems, but to reveal to all...the identity of the author." The H. J. Chittenden Co., Toledo, Ohio. 166 numbered pages. 5 3/4 by 8 3/4 inches. Sample verse, excerpt: HomelessThe Meanest dog that tramps the street, Still finds some heart to love him,Some home to rest his weary feet,Some shelt'ring roof above him... But human souls are left to driftUpon the earth's wide common;No kindly hand outstretched to liftThe homeless man or woman... Sample other poems: A Brother's Curse / A New Year's Greeting / Evening Thoughts / Immortality / Modesty / Mother is Dying / The Convict / The High School Bell / The Old Red School House / The Poor Man's Burial / to Lydia on Her Wedding Day.
