Carl Sandburg (Карл Сэндберг)


They Will Say


OF my city the worst that men will ever say is this:
You took little children away from the sun and the dew,
And the glimmers that played in the grass under the great sky,
And the reckless rain; you put them between walls
To work, broken and smothered, for bread and wages,
To eat dust in their throats and die empty-hearted
For a little handful of pay on a few Saturday nights.



Carl Sandburg's other poems:
  1. A Coin
  2. I Am the People, the Mob
  3. Sea Slant
  4. Fight
  5. Hope Is a Tattered Flag
