House by the Side of the Road, The by Sam Walter Foss (1858 - 1911)

LibriVox volunteers bring you 18 recordings of The House by the Side of the Road by Sam Walter Foss. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for January 15, 2012.

Sam Walter Foss was an American librarian and poet whose works included The House by the Side of the Road and The Coming American.

Foss used to write a poem a day for the newspapers, and his five volumes of collected poetry are of the frank and homely “common man” variety.

Longtime baseball announcer Ernie Harwell alluded to one of Foss’s poems whenever he described a batter taking a called third strike: “He stood there like the house by the side of the road and watched it go by.”
