Carl Sandburg - Cool TombsCarl Sandburg - Cool Tombs
Work rating: Medium


When Abraham Lincoln was shoveled into the tombs he forgot   the copperheads and the assassin . . . in the dust, in the   cool tombs. And Ulysses Grant lost all thought of con men and Wall Street,   cash and collateral turned ashes . . . in the dust, in the   cool tombs. Pocahontas` body, lovely as a poplar, sweet as a red haw in   November or a pawpaw in May, did she wonder? does she   remember? . . . in the dust, in the cool tombs? Take any streetful of people buying clothes and groceries,   cheering a hero or throwing confetti and blowing tin   horns . . . tell me if the lovers are losers . . . tell me if any   get more than the lovers . . . in the dust . . . in the cool   tombs.
