Title	Poems and Plays
Subject	Literary Ohio Poetry Poets
Place	West Liberty (Ohio) Logan County (Ohio) Cincinnati (Ohio) Hamilton County (Ohio)
Description	Donn Piatt published Poems and Plays in 1893. Ten pages of the book are reproduced here and contain four of Piatt's best-known poems about Ohio, including "The Ohio Horn Boat" and "Tecumseh." The book is 360 pages long and measures 5 by 7.5 inches (12.7 by 19.05 cm). Donn Piatt (1819-1891) was born in Cincinnati but moved to Mac-o-cheek, the family home when he was eight years old. He was educated in the public schools of Urbana and Bellfontaine and taught at the Athenauem (now Xavier University) in Cincinnati. He studied law and served as judge in the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas and secretary of the American legation in Paris. He served in the 13th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (O.V.I.) during the Civil War, eventually rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. After the war, he went to Washington, D.C. as a correspondent for the Cincinnati Commercial, and later started his own magazine, The Capital. Piatt frequently attacked corruption in its pages. He was indicted for his violent disapproval of the electoral commission that resolved the election of 1878, but the charges were later dropped.

Full Text	Mai-0-chae — /. 11 Pae-o-ehee—1. 1% /TY days among these wilds are spent In restful, calm repose; No carking cares or discontent Disturb life's fitter close. Beyond these wooded hills 1 hear The world's unceasing roar, As breaks upon some mland ear, The tumult of a shore. To me these are no solitudes; For, all by memory tinged, From somber shadows ot" the woods To meadows willow-fringed, Are peopled with the forms 1 lost And loved so long ago. Ere on life's ocean tempest tossed I tasted of its woe.
