Haunts
[By Carl Sandburg, from Haunts in the
collection Cornhuskers]
There are places I go when I am strong.
One is a marsh pool where I used to go with a long-eared hound-dog.
One is a wild crab apple tree; I was there a moonlight night with a girl.
The dog is gone; the girl is gone; I go to these places when there is no other place to go.
