IN A BACK ALLEY by CARL SANDBURG

Poet Analysis

First Line: REMEMBRANCE FOR A GREAT MAN IS THIS
Last Line: DEAD LOVER OF BOYS, WHAT DO YOU ASK FOR NOW?

REMEMBRANCE for a great man is this.
The newsies are pitching pennies.
And on the copper disk is the man's face.
Dead lover of boys, what do you ask for now?
