Description	John James Piatt published Poems of House and Home in 1879. Five pages are reproduced here containing two poems, "Home-Longing" and "A Voice in Ohio." The book is 128 pages long and measures 4.75 by 7 inches (12.07 by 17.8 cm). John James Piatt (1835-1917) was born in Indiana and moved with his family to Franklinton, Ohio when he was six. He lived with his uncle in nearby Columbus, attended grammar classes at Capital University, and worked as a printer's devil at the Ohio State Journal. Piatt developed an interest in poetry and gained the attention of George Prentice, editor of the Louisville Journal. Prentice hired him as his secretary and published his poems in the Journal. Piatt served as a clerk in the department of the treasury starting in 1860. He and his wife Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt made their home in Georgetown, where both continued to write poetry. After the Civil War, Piatt was affiliated with Cincinnati newspapers and served as librarian of the House of Representatives. He also served a consul to Ireland.

Full Text	HOME-LONGING. T LONG for thee, O native Western Land! ¦ I long for thy full rivers, moving slow In their old dream, that changes not, but takes The ever-changing vision of the air; I long for these, the kinsmen of my youth, And thy vast woodlands, murmuring weirdly still Lost Indian legends, and thy prairies where The bison's thunder, sinking far and vague, Grows loud and near, and is the hurrying train. Washington, D. C.
