Carl Sandburg - MassesCarl Sandburg - Masses
Work rating: Medium


Among the mountains I wandered and saw blue haze and     red crag and was amazed; On the beach where the long push under the endless tide     maneuvers, I stood silent; Under the stars on the prairie watching the Dipper slant     over the horizon`s grass, I was full of thoughts. Great men, pageants of war and labor, soldiers and workers,     mothers lifting their children—these all I     touched, and felt the solemn thrill of them. And then one day I got a true look at the Poor, millions     of the Poor, patient and toiling; more patient than     crags, tides, and stars; innumerable, patient as the     darkness of night—and all broken, humble ruins of nations.
