Carl Sandburg - PaulaCarl Sandburg - Paula
Work rating: Low


NOTHING else in this song-only your face. Nothing else here-only your drinking, night-gray eyes.   The pier runs into the lake straight as a rifle barrel. I stand on the pier and sing how I know you mornings. It is not your eyes, your face, I remember. It is not your dancing, race-horse feet. It is something else I remember you for on the pier mornings.   Your hands are sweeter than nut-brown bread when you touch me. Your shoulder brushes my arm-a south-west wind crosses the pier. I forget your hands and your shoulder and I say again:   Nothing else in this song-only your face. Nothing else here-only your drinking, night-gray eyes.
