SIXTEEN MONTHS by CARL SANDBURG

Poet Analysis

First Line: ON THE LIPS OF THE CHILD JANET FLOAT CHANGING DREAMS
Last Line: YOUNG LIGHT BLUE CALLS TO YOUNG LIGHT GOLD OF MORNING.
Subject(s): CHILDREN; CHILDHOOD;
ON the lips of the child Janet float changing dreams.
It is a thin spiral of blue smoke,
A morning campfire at a mountain lake.

On the lips of the child Janet,
Wisps of haze on ten miles of corn,
Young light blue calls to young light gold of morning.
