Carl Sandburg
(18781967).
Smoke and Steel.
1922.
V. Mist Forms
17. People With Proud Chins
I
TELL
them where the wind comes from,
Where the music goes when the fiddle is in the box.
KidsI saw one with a proud chin, a sleepyhead,
And the moonline creeping white on her pillow.
I have seen their heads in the starlight
5
And their proud chins marching in a mist of stars.
They are the only people I never lie to.
I give them honest answers,
Answers shrewd as the circles of white on brown chestnuts.
