Kansas lessons (1928) Sandburg

Often the mockingbird is only a mocker

Singing the songs of other birds

Pouring their trills over the bushes.

And sometimes the mocker is all alone 

The child playing all-aloney, all-aloney

.

Sometimes the mocker calls, calls, calls 

Fables, texts, cries of all heartbreaks.

All the wild nights

A blood gold moon can buy. 

Good Morning, America

Carl Sandburg
