Poem of the day – CHILD MOON by Carl Sandburg
THE child’s wonderAt the old moonComes back nightly.She points her fingerTo the far silent yellow thingShining through the branchesFiltering on the leaves a golden sand,Crying with her little tongue, See the moon!And in her bed fading to sleepWith babblings of the moon on her little mouth. – CHILD MOON by Carl Sandburg
