HEMLOCK AND CEDAR, by CARL SANDBURG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Thin sheets of blue smoke among white slabs Last Line: Mill to the ridge of hemlock and cedar. Subject(s): Winter | |||
THIN sheets of blue smoke among white slabs ... near the shingle mill ... winter morning. Falling of a dry leaf might be heard ... circular steel tears through a log. Slope of woodland ... brown ... soft ... tinge of blue such as pansy eyes. Farther, field fires ... funnel of yellow smoke ... spellings of other yellow in corn stubble. Bobsled on a down-hill road ... February snow mud ... horses steaming ... Oscar the driver sings ragtime under a spot of red seen a mile ... the red wool yarn of Oscar's stocking cap is seen from the shingle mill to the ridge of hemlock and cedar. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOOKING EAST IN THE WINTER by JOHN HOLLANDER WINTER DISTANCES by FANNY HOWE WINTER FORECAST by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN AT WINTER'S EDGE by JUDY JORDAN |
