Carl Sandburg - Night Movement-New YorkCarl Sandburg - Night Movement-New York
Work rating: Low


IN the night, when the sea-winds take the city in their arms, And cool the loud streets that kept their dust noon and afternoon; In the night, when the sea-birds call to the lights of the city, The lights that cut on the skyline their name of a city; In the night, when the trains and wagons start from a long way off For the city where the people ask bread and want letters; In the night the city lives too-the day is not all. In the night there are dancers dancing and singers singing, And the sailors and soldiers look for numbers on doors. In the night the sea-winds take the city in their arms.
