From "The People, Yes," by Carl Sandburg:
For sixty years the pine lumber barn
had held cows, horses, hay, harness, tools, junk
amid the prairie winds...
and the corn crops came and went, plows and wagon
and hands milked, hands husked and harnessed
and held the leather reins of horse teams
in dust and dog days, in late fall sleet 'til the work was done that fall.
And the barn was a witness, stood and saw it all.

beautiful barns |
barn at twilight |
flowers in the field |
still a working barn |
red barn in evening light |
postcard barn |
no longer sheltering the cows |
