Carl Sandburg

6 January 1878 – 22 July 1967 / Illinois

Humming Bird Woman

How you would look in black velvet and yellow? in orange and green?
I who cannot remember whether it was a dash of blue
Or a whirr of red under your willow throat-
Why do I wonder how you would look in humming-bird feathers?
