Carl Sandburg (1878–1967). Cornhuskers. 1918.

35. Sixteen Months

ON the lips of the child Janet float changing dreams.

It is a thin spiral of blue smoke,

A morning campfire at a mountain lake.

On the lips of the child Janet,

Wisps of haze on ten miles of corn,

Young light blue calls to young light gold of morning.
