GIRL IN A CAGE, by CARL SANDBURG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Here in a cage the dollars come down Last Line: A flame of silk at the throat. Subject(s): Money | |||
HERE in a cage the dollars come down. To the click of a tube the dollars tumble. And out of a mouth the dollars run. I finger the dollars, Paper and silver, Thousands a day. Some days it's fun to finger the dollars. Some days... the dollars keep on in a sob or a whisper: A flame of rose in the hair, A flame of silk at the throat. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
