Oooh thanks so much Bonnie... I looove this, I mean it really speaks to me! I´m gonna look up for some more Sandburg stuff... (had never heard of him, to my shame)
Under the harvest moon, When the soft silver Drips shimmering Over garden nights, Death, the gray mocker, Comes and whispers to you As a beautiful friend Who remembers.
Under the summer roses When the flagrant crimson Lurks in the dusk Of the wild red leaves, Love, with little hands, Comes and touches you With a thousand memories, And asks you Beautiful, unanswerable questions.
