Carl Sandburg (1878–1967).  Smoke and Steel. 1922.
  
IX. Haze
9. Letter S
  
THE RIVER is gold under a sunset of Illinois.
It is a molten gold someone pours and changes.
A woman mixing a wedding cake of butter and eggs
Knows what the sunset is pouring on the river here.
The river twists in a letter S.        5
  A gold S now speaks to the Illinois sky.
