Spoon River Anthology
I was among multitudes of children 220
I was attorney for the “Q” 82
I was crushed between Altgeld and Armour. 109
I was just turned twenty-one, 178
I was not beloved of the villagers, 49
I was only eight years old; 63
I was sick, but more than that, I was mad 124
I was sixteen, and I had the most terrible dreams, 44
I was the daughter of Lambert Hutchins, 133
I was the first fruits of the battle of Missionary 33
I was the laughing-stock of the village, 195
I was the milliner 71
I was the only child of Frances Harris of Virginia 104
I was the Sunday-school superintendent, 177
I was the Widow McFarlane, 115
I was well known and much beloved 126
I was Willie Metcalf. 203
I went to the dances at Chandlerville, 191
I went up and down the streets 37
I who kept the greenhouse, 197
I winged my bird, 131
I won the prize essay at school 75
I would have been as great as George Eliot 52
I would I had thrust my hands of flesh 140
I wrote him a letter asking him for old times, sak 190
If a man could bite the giant hand 15
If I could have lived another year 81
If the learned Supreme Court of Illinois 138
If you in the village think that my work was a goo 69
In a lingering fever many visions come to you: 186
In life I was the town drunkard; 19
In the last spring I ever knew, 217
In the lust of my strength 206
Is it true, Spoon River, 156
It never came into my mind 67
It was just like everything else in life: 123
It was moon-light, and the earth sparkled 154
It was only a little house of two rooms— 152
