HANDFULS, by CARL SANDBURG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Blossoms of babies
Last Line: Handfuls again.
First Line: Blossoms of babies
Last Line: Handfuls again.
BLOSSOMS of babies
Blinking their stories
Come soft
On the dusk and the babble;
Little red gamblers,
Handfuls that slept in the dust.
Summers of rain,
Winters of drift,
Tell off the years;
And they go back
Who came soft --
Back to the sod,
To silence and dust;
Gray gamblers,
Handfuls again.
