The Great HuntCarl SandburgI cannot tell you now; When the wind’s drive and whirl Blow me along no longer, And the wind’s a whisper at last — Maybe I’ll tell you then — some other time. When the rose’s flash to the sunset Reels to the wrack and the twist, And the rose is a red bygone, When the face I love is going And the gate to the end shall clang, And it’s no use to beckon or say, “So long” — Maybe I’ll tell you then — some other time.I never knew any more beautiful than you: I have hunted you under my thoughts, I have broken down under the wind And into the roses looking for you. I shall never find any greater than you.
