Title	That New World
Subject	Literary Ohio Ohio Women Poetry Poets
Place	North Bend (Ohio) Hamilton County (Ohio)
Description	Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt published That New World in 1877. Eleven pages of the book are reproduced here and contain several of Mrs. Piatt's poems including "Giving Up the World" and "Sad Wisdom." The book is 130 pages long and measures 4.5 by 6.5 inches (10.8 by 17.8 cm). Sarah Piatt (1836-1919) was born in Lexington, KY and graduated from Henry Female College. She published over 150 poems in the Louisville Journal including some that played a part in the flirtation between Sarah Morgan Bryan and her future husband John James Piatt. Sarah Piatt published seventeen volumes of poetry. She also contributed to such national journals as Atlantic Monthly, Harpers, and St. Nicholas. She married Piatt in 1861. The couple moved to Washington where he had a clerkship in the department of the Treasury. Later they moved to Ireland where John James served as consul. Much of their lives were spent in North Bend, Ohio. While some of her poems deal with sentimental themes that were popular during the Victorian period, others addressed issues such as childhood and death in an unconventional manner. Many of her poems reflect her situation as a southerner living in the north during the Civil War.

Full Text	- ' \ft- ' _ ¦** r* THAT NEW WORLD. How gracious we are to grant to the dead Those wide, vague lands in the foreign sky, Reserving this world for ourselves instead — For we must live, though others must die ! And what is this world that we keep, I pray.' True, it has glimpses of dews and flowers ; Then Youth and Love are here and away, Like mated birds — but nothing is ours.
