About this entry

carl sandburg | the sandburg range

The sun burns its gold
and this to you
is home and mother.

The night frames its stars
and this to you
is a book and prayers.

[from: THE SANDBURG RANGE]

a

The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

[from CHICAGO POEMS]

a

I will be the word of the people.
Mine will be the bleeding mouth
from which the gag is snatched.
I will say everything.
