The Black Riders and Other Lines is a book of poetry written by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900).

"[2] The Black Riders and Other Lines was published in May 1895 by Copeland & Day and marked Crane's first serious venture into poetry.

[4] Many of the poems in The Black Riders and Other Lines depict a vengeful God inspired by the Old Testament interacting with disrespectful humans.

Harriet Monroe wrote that the book "is full of wisdom of yesteryear... as old-fashioned as Bob Ingersoll's fiery denunciations.

[6] Elbert Hubbard, who had encouraged Crane's unusual poetry, was impressed by their unconventional structure: "The 'Lines' in The Black Riders seem to me wonderful: charged with meaning like a storage battery.
