Fire-Logs 
[By Carl Sandburg, from Persons Half Known in the collection Cornhuskers]

Nancy Hanks dreams by the fire;
Dreams, and the logs sputter;
And the yellow tongues climb.
Red lines lick their way in flickers.
Oh, sputter, logs.
     Oh, dream, Nancy.
Time now for a beautiful child.
Time now for a tall man to come.
