Good evening /lit/. A few days ago it was Carl Sandburg's birthday, so I'll be reading you one of his poem's tonight before bed.

Under the Harvest Moon - Carl Sandburg

Under the harvest moon,
When the soft silver
Drips shimmering
Over the garden nights,
Death, the gray mocker,
Comes and whispers to you
As a beautiful friend
Who remembers.

Under the summer roses
When the flagrant crimson
Lurks in the dusk
Of the wild red leaves,
Love, with littles hands,
Comes and touches you
With a thousand memories,
And asks you
Beautiful, unanswerable questions.


Good night friends, and sleep well.
