VILLAGE IN LATE SUMMER by CARL SANDBURG

Poet Analysis

First Line: LIPS HALF-WILLING IN A DOORWAY
Last Line: AND THE FARMERS MAKE HALF-ANSWERS.
Subject(s): VILLAGES;
LIPS half-willing in a doorway.
Lips half-singing at a window.
Eyes half-dreaming in the walls.
Feet half-dancing in a kitchen.
Even the clocks half-yawn the hours
And the farmers make half-answers.
