 Drying Their Wings by Vachel Lindsay 
						What the Carpenter Said
 THE moon's a cottage with a door.
 Some folks can see it plain.
 Look, you may catch a glint of light,
 A sparkle through the pane,
 Showing the place is brighter still
 Within, though bright without.
 There, at a cosy open fire
 Strange babes are grouped about.
 The children of the wind and tide--
 The urchins of the sky,
 Drying their wings from storms and things
 So they again can fly.
