Carl Sandburg (1878–1967).  Smoke and Steel. 1922.
  
V. Mist Forms
15. Helga
  
THE WISHES on this child’s mouth
Came like snow on marsh cranberries;
The tamarack kept something for her;
The wind is ready to help her shoes.
The north has loved her; she will be        5
A grandmother feeding geese on frosty
Mornings; she will understand
Early snow on the cranberries
Better and better then.
