Carl Sandburg (1878–1967). Chicago Poems. 1916.

116. Margaret

MANY birds and the beating of wings

Make a flinging reckless hum

In the early morning at the rocks

Above the blue pool

Where the gray shadows swim lazy.

In your blue eyes, O reckless child,

I saw today many little wild wishes,

Eager as the great morning.
