Carl Sandburg - Back YardCarl Sandburg - Back Yard
Work rating: Medium


Shine on, O moon of summer. Shine to the leaves of grass, catalpa and oak, All silver under your rain to-night. An Italian boy is sending songs to you to-night from an     accordion. A Polish boy is out with his best girl; they marry next     month; to-night they are throwing you kisses. An old man next door is dreaming over a sheen that sits     in a cherry tree in his back yard. The clocks say I must go—I stay here sitting on the     back porch drinking white thoughts you rain down.          Shine on, O moon, Shake out more and more silver changes.
