"Blue Ridge"

by Carl Sandburg

BORN a million years ago you stay here a million years …

watching the women come and live and be laid away …

you and they thin-gray thin-dusk lovely.

So it goes: either the early morning lights are lovely or the early morning star.

I am glad I have seen racehorses, women, mountains.
