Carl Sandburg. 1878– |
78. Grass |
PILE the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo. | |
Shovel them under and let me work— | |
I am the grass; I cover all. | |
And pile them high at Gettysburg | |
And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun. | 5 |
Shovel them under and let me work. | |
Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor: | |
What place is this? | |
Where are we now? | |
I am the grass. | 10 |
Let me work. |
Do you have a favorite?
