LOAM, by CARL SANDBURG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: In the loam we sleep Last Line: A day. | ||||||||
IN the loam we sleep, In the cool moist loam, To the lull of years that pass And the break of stars, From the loam, then, The soft warm loam, We rise: To shape of rose leaf, Of face and shoulder. We stand, then, To a whiff of life, Lifted to the silver of the sun Over and out of the loam A day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MILLION YOUNG WORKMEN, 1915 by CARL SANDBURG ACCOMPLISHED FACTS by CARL SANDBURG ADELAIDE CRAPSEY by CARL SANDBURG |
