Poem by Carl Sandburg

Subway

Down between the walls of shadow
Where the iron laws insist,
    The hunger voices mock.

The worn wayfaring men
With the hunched and humble shoulders,
    Throw their laughter into toil.

1. Old-fashioned Requited Love
2. Baby Vamps
3. Hope Is a Tattered Flag
4. Arithmetic
5. Haunts
