Evening Song
by Sherwood Anderson
My song will rest while I rest. I struggle along. I'll get back to the corn and the open fields. Don't fret, love, I'll come out all right. Back of Chicago the open fields. Were you ever thereβtrains coming toward you out of the Westβstreaks of light on the long gray plains? Many a songβaching to sing. I've got a gray and ragged brother in my breastβthat's a fact. Back of Chicago the open fieldsβlong trains go west tooβin the silence. Don't fret, love. I'll come out all right.
