Back Yard
Shine on, O moon of summer.
Shine to the leaves of grass, catalpa and oak,
All silver under your rain to-night.
An Italian boy is sending songs to you to-night from an accordion.
A Polish boy is out with his best girl; they marry next month;
to-night they are throwing you kisses.
An old man next door is dreaming over a sheen that sits in a
cherry tree in his back yard.
The clocks say I must go—I stay here sitting on the back porch drinking
white thoughts you rain down.
Shine on, O moon,
Shake out more and more silver changes.
Enjoy the poem with beautiful music.

Who wrote the poem "Who Am I?"
Carl Sandburg (January 6, 1878 – July 22, 1967)
Carl Sandburg was an American poet, biographer, novelist, journalist, and folklorist. He received three Pulitzer Prizes (two for his poetry and one for his biography of Abraham Lincoln). He has often been compared to Walt Whitman for his use of free verse and admiration of the working class.
"Back Yard" explanation
"Back Yard" by Carl Sandburg is a
beautiful reflection on the simple pleasures of everyday life. In the poem,
Sandburg captures the serene beauty of a summer evening in a back yard, using
vivid and sensory imagery to bring the scene to life. It can be interpreted as a
celebration of the beauty in everyday moments and an encouragement to slow
down, observe, and appreciate the simple and often overlooked aspects of life.
