MOONSET by CARL SANDBURG

Poet Analysis

First Line: LEAVES OF POPLARS PICK JAPANESE PRINTS AGAINST THE WEST
Last Line: ONLY DARK LISTENING TO DARK.
Subject(s): MOON;
LEAVES of poplars pick Japanese prints against the west.
Moon sand on the canal doubles the changing pictures.
The moon's good-by ends pictures.
The west is empty. All else is empty. No moon-talk at all now.
Only dark listening to dark.
