Sixteen Months

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.

Cornhuskers. 1918.
