“Baby Face” by Carl Sandburg 🇺🇸 (6 Jan 1878 – 22 Jul 1967)
White Moon comes in on a baby face.
The shafts across her bed are flimmering.
​
Out on the land White Moon shines,
Shines and glimmers against gnarled shadows,
All silver to slow twisted shadows
Falling across the long road that runs from the house.
​
Keep a little of your beauty
And some of your flimmering silver
For her by the window to-night
Where vou come in, White Moon.
