Swirl

by Carl Sandburg

Carl Sandburg

A SWIRL in the air where your head was once, here.
You walked under this tree, spoke to a moon for me
I might almost stand here and believe you alive.

    Noblesse Oblige
    by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
    I hold it the duty of one who is gifted And specially dowered I all men's sight, To know no rest till his life is lifted Fully up to his great gifts' height.
