[MD] Full Corn Moon

Full Corn Moon – September This full moon’s name is attributed to 
Native Americans because it marked when corn was supposed to 
be harvested. Most often, the September full moon is actually the 
Harvest Moon.



UNDER THE HARVEST MOON 
		by Carl Sandburg

Under the harvest moon,
When the soft silver
Drips shimmering
Over the garden nights,
Death, the gray mocker,
Comes and whispers to you
As a beautiful friend
Who remembers.

Under the summer roses
When the flagrant crimson
Lurks in the dusk
Of the wild red leaves,
Love, with little hands,
Comes and touches you
With a thousand memories,
And asks you
Beautiful, unanswerable questions.
