Carl Sandburg - To Certain JourneymenCarl Sandburg - To Certain Journeymen
Work rating: Medium


Undertakers, hearse drivers, grave diggers, I speak to you as one not afraid of your business. You handle dust going to a long country, You know the secret behind your job is the same whether     you lower the coffin with modern, automatic machinery,     well-oiled and noiseless, or whether the     body is laid in by naked hands and then covered     by the shovels. Your day`s work is done with laughter many days of the year, And you earn a living by those who say good-by today     in thin whispers.
