Analysis of Haunts
Carl Sandburg 1878 (Galesburg) – 1967 (Flat Rock)
There are places I go when I am strong.
One is a marsh pool where I used to go
with a long-ear hound-dog.
One is a wild crabapple tree; I was there
a moonlight night with a girl.
The dog is gone; the girl is gone; I go to these
places when there is no other place to go.
