Midnight Lights of the Windy City - Canvas

At Nightfall in the City

By AI Carl Sandburg

At nightfall in city by the lake shore
The river sings with stillness and roars
The bright starlight of the Midnight Lights
Sparkles over the Windy City heights

All around me I can feel the calm
The cobblestone stories magical and warm
In the sky by lake Michigan blue
That is where I find my view

My heart is released from its rusty cage
From the Midwestern plains on to each page
Of a life full of music and city lights
That spark during the Midnight Lights
