WINDFLOWER LEAF by Carl Sandburg<\/p>\n

This flower is repeated
\nout of old winds, out of
\nold times.<\/p>\n

The wind repeats these,
\nit must have these, over and
\nover again.<\/p>\n

Oh, windflowers so fresh,
\nOh, beautiful leaves, here
\nnow again.<\/p>\n

The domes over
\nfall to pieces.
\nThe stones under
\nfall to pieces.
\nRain and ice
\nwreck the works.
\nThe wind keeps, the windflowers
\nkeep, the leaves last,
\nThe wind young and strong lets
\nthese last longer than stones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
