Poem by Carl Sandburg

Margaret

Many birds and the beating of wings
Make a flinging reckless hum
In the early morning at the rocks
Above the blue pool
Where the gray shadows swim lazy.

In your blue eyes, O reckless child,
I saw today many little wild wishes,
Eager as the great morning.

1. Follies
2. Prayers after World War
3. A Father to His Son
4. Ready to Kill
5. A Sphinx

Jean Blewett Margaret ("Her eyes—upon a summer's day")
