Gather the stars if you wish it so Gather the songs and keep t | Poems and Couplets

Gather the stars if you wish it so
Gather the songs and keep them.
Gather the faces of women.
Gather for keeping years and years.
And then...
Loosen your hands, let go and say good-bye.
Let the stars and songs go.
Let the faces and years go.
Loosen your hands and say good-bye.

Rᴇғᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇ
Carl Sandburg
