Carl Sandburg - Lost

DESOLATE and lone
All night long on the lake
Where fog trails and mist creeps,
The whistle of a boat
Calls and cries unendingly,
Like some lost child
In tears and trouble
Hunting the harbor's breast
And the harbor's eyes.

something about being on the water in the dark is supernatural. sandburg really captures that spooky feeling.

i think the poem lost really show his vast thinking side really one of his early works, since then if you look at his other work it's far superior. But indeed I have nothing wrong to say about the poem Lost.
