sailing free sky blue
sailing changing and sailing
let me have spring dreams
Drift, and drift on, white ships.
Sailing the free sky blue, sailing and changing and sailing,
Oh, I remember in the blood of my dreams how they sang before me.
Oh, they were men and women who got money for their work, money or love or dreams.
Sail on, white ships.
Let me have spring dreams.
From Carlovingian Dreams as published in Smoke and Steel by Carl Sandburg, New York, Harcourt Brace, 1920
