From The Congo and Other Poems by Vachel Lindsay (New York: The Macmillan Company, 1914), page 125:


THE MOON'S THE NORTH WIND'S COOKY
(What the Little Girl Said)

The Moon's the North Wind's cooky.
He bites it, day by day,
Until there's but a rim of scraps
That crumble all away.

The South Wind is a baker.
He kneads clouds in his den,
And bakes a crisp new moon that . . . greedy
North . . . Wind . . . eats . . . again!
