Carl Sandburg - Broken TabernaclesCarl Sandburg - Broken Tabernacles
Work rating: Medium


Have  I broken the smaller tabernacles, O Lord? And in the destruction of these set up the greater and massive, the everlasting tabernacles? I know nothing today, what I have done and why, O Lord, only I have broken and broken tabernacles. They were beautiful in a way, these tabernacles torn down by strong hands swearing— They were beautiful—why did the hypocrites carve their own names on the corner-stones? why did the hypocrites keep on singing their own names in their long noses every Sunday in these tabernacles? Who lays any blame here among the split cornerstones?
