Summer Stars
by Carl Sandburg Bend low again, night of summer stars. So near you are, sky of summer stars, So near, a long arm man can pick off stars, Pick off what he wants in the sky bowl, So near you are, summer stars, So near, strumming, strumming, So lazy and hum-strumming. From Smoke and Steel (Harcourt, 1920) |
