“Evening Waterfall” by Carl Sandburg 🇺🇸 (6 Jan 1878 – 22 Jul 1967)
What was the name you called me?—
And why did you go so soon?
​
The crows lift their caw on the wind,
And the wind changed and was lonely.
​
The warblers cry their sleepy-songs
Across the valley gloaming,
Across the cattle-horns of early stars.
​
feathers and people in the crotch of a treetop
Throw an evening waterfall of sleepy-songs.
​
What was the name you called me?—
And why did you go so soon?
