Carl Sandburg (1878–1967). Cornhuskers. 1918.

84. Moonset

LEAVES of poplars pick Japanese prints against the west.

Moon sand on the canal doubles the changing pictures.

The moon’s good-by ends pictures.

The west is empty. All else is empty. No moon-talk at all now.

Only dark listening to dark.
