HYDRANGEAS by CARL SANDBURG

Poet Analysis

First Line: DRAGOONS, I TELL YOU THE WHITE HYDRANGEAS
Last Line: WAITING, THEY LOOK OVER THE FENCE FOR WHAT WAY THEY GO.
Subject(s): HYDRANGEAS;
DRAGOONS, I tell you the white hydrangeas turn rust and go soon.
Already mid September a line of brown runs over them.
One sunset after another tracks the faces, the petals.
Waiting, they look over the fence for what way they go.
