Carl Sandburg - CumulativesCarl Sandburg - Cumulatives
Work rating: Medium


Storms have beaten on this point of land And ships gone to wreck here          and the passers-by remember it          with talk on the deck at night          as they near it. Fists have beaten on the face of this old prize-fighter And his battles have held the sporting pages          and on the street they indicate him with their          right fore-finger as one who once wore          a championship belt. A hundred stories have been published and a thousand rumored About why this tall dark man has divorced two beautiful     young women And married a third who resembles the first two               and they shake their heads and say, "There he          goes,"     when he passes by in sunny weather or in rain     along the city streets.
