Carl Sandburg - JawsCarl Sandburg - Jaws
Work rating: Medium


Seven nations stood with their hands on the jaws of death. It was the first week in August, Nineteen Hundred Fourteen. I was listening, you were listening, the whole world was     listening, And all of us heard a Voice murmuring:               "I am the way and the light,               He that believeth on me               Shall not perish               But shall have everlasting life." Seven nations listening heard the Voice and answered:               "O Hell!" The jaws of death began clicking and they go on clicking.               "O Hell!"
