AZTEC, by CARL SANDBURG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: You came from the aztecs Last Line: Before the days are longer. Subject(s): Aztecs | |||
YOU came from the Aztecs With a copper on your fore-arms Tawnier than a sunset Saying good-by to an even river. And I said, you remember, Those fore-arms of yours Were finer than bronzes And you were glad. It was tears And a path west and a home-going when I asked Why there were scars of worn gold Where a man's ring was fixed once On your third finger. And I call you To come back before the days are longer. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO AN AZTEC IDOL by PATRICK REGINALD CHALMERS CREATION by JULIA MAY COURTNEY THE AZTEC CITY by EUGENE FITCH WARE ACUPUNCTURE FOR THE BACK by FRANCISCO X.
