Autograph poem signed "James Whitcomb Riley," one page, 6.5 x 7, no date. Riley pens the text of his poem "John Brown," beginning: "Writ in between the lines of his life-deed / We trace the sacred service of a heart / Answering the Divine command, in every part / Bearing on human weal: His love did feed / The loveless; and his gentle hands did lead / The blind, and lift the weak, and balm the smart / Of other wounds than rankled at the dart / In his own breast, that gloried thus to bleed." In fine condition, with slightly irregular light toning.
