Carl Sandburg - On The WayCarl Sandburg - On The Way
Work rating: Medium


Little one, you have been buzzing in the books, Flittering in the newspapers and drinking beer with     lawyers And amid the educated men of the clubs you have been     getting an earful of speech from trained tongues. Take an earful from me once, go with me on a hike Along sand stretches on the great inland sea here And while the eastern breeze blows on us and the     restless surge Of the lake waves on the breakwater breaks with an ever     fresh monotone, Let us ask ourselves: What is truth? what do you or I     know? How much do the wisest of the world`s men know about     where the massed human procession is going? You have heard the mob laughed at? I ask you: Is not the mob rough as the mountains are     rough? And all things human rise from the mob and relapse and     rise again as rain to the sea.
