Blue Ridge
Carl Sandburg
BORN a million years ago you stay here a million years … watching the women come and live and be laid away … you and they thin-gray thin-dusk lovely.
So it goes: either the early morning lights are lovely or the early morning star.
I am glad I have seen racehorses, women, mountains.
Sandburg eventually moved to live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
His farm, Connemara was in Flat Rock, North Carolina.
Poetry Atlas has many poems about mountains.
