I cannot tell you now,
When the wind’s drive and whirl
Blow me along no longer,
And the wind’s a whisper at last—
Maybe I'll tell you then-
some Other time
When the rose’s flash to the sunset
Reels to the rack and the twist,
And the rose is a red bygone,
When the face I love is going
And the gate to the end shall clang,
And it’s no use to beckon or say, "So long"—
Maybe I’ll tell you then-
some other time
I never knew any more beautiful than you
I have hunted you under my thoughts,
I have broken down under the wind
And into the roses looking for you
I shall never find any
greater than you
I am busy working to bring Carl Sandburg's "The Great Hunt" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you soon.
At V2Melody, each arrangement is crafted with care through a thoughtful partnership of human artistry and technological innovation. This process involves:
This creative journey takes time—each composition represents hours of dedicated work to create something that deepens our connection to Carl Sandburg's words in meaningful ways.
While you wait for the complete interpretation, I invite you to explore other musical arrangements in my gallery or learn more about Carl Sandburg's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The Great Hunt" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
