What The Moon Saw

Title:     What The Moon Saw
Author: Vachel Lindsay [More Titles by Lindsay]

Two statesmen met by moonlight.
Their ease was partly feigned.
They glanced about the prairie.
Their faces were constrained.
In various ways aforetime
They had misled the state,
Yet did it so politely
Their henchmen thought them great.
They sat beneath a hedge and spake
No word, but had a smoke.
A satchel passed from hand to hand.
Next day, the deadlock broke.

[The end]
Vachel Lindsay's poem: What The Moon Saw
