Monotone
THE monotone of the rain is beautiful,
And the sudden rise and slow relapse
Of the long multitudinous rain.
The sun on the hills is beautiful,
Or a captured sunset sea-flung,
Bannered with fire and gold
A face I know is beautiful--
With fire and gold of sky and sea,
And the peace of long warm rain.
Grandma Nellie Jean, 1924 - 2010.
You are in my heart and dearly missed.
-- Poetry by Carl Sandburg (1878-1967), published as part of his Chicago Poems in 1916
Please have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend.
