Uplands In May

by Carl Sandburg

Carl Sandburg

WONDER as of old things
Fresh and fair come back
Hangs over pasture and road.
Lush in the lowland grasses rise
And upland beckons to upland.
The great strong hills are humble.

    The Watcher
    by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
    I think I hear the sound of horses' feet Beating upon the graveled avenue. Go to the window that looks on the street, He would not let me die alone, I knew."
