Carl Sandburg

Windflower Leaf

This flower is repeated
 out of old winds, out of
 old times.
 
 The wind repeats these, it
 must have these, over and
 over again.
 
 Oh, windflowers so fresh,
 Oh, beautiful leaves, here
 now again.
 
   The domes over
   fall to pieces.
   The stones under
   fall to pieces.
   Rain and ice
   wreck the works.
 The wind keeps, the windflowers
   keep, the leaves last,
 The wind young and strong lets
   these last longer than stones.
