“Alice Corbin is Gone” by Carl Sandburg 🇺🇸 (6 Jan 187822 Jul 1967)
Alice Corbin is gone
and the Indians tell us where.
She trusted the Indians
and they kept a trust in her
She took a four-line Indian song
and put it into English.
You can sing it over and over and
no harm done:
The wind is carrying me round the sky;
The wind is carrying me round the sky.
My body is here in the valley—
The wind is carrying me round the sky.
