UNDER, by CARL SANDBURG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I am the undertow Last Line: To-morrow. | ||||||||
I I AM the undertow Washing tides of power Battering the pillars Under your things of high law. II I am a sleepless Slowfaring eater, Maker of rust and rot In your bastioned fastenings, Caissons deep. III I am the Law Older than you And your builders proud. I am deaf In all days Whether you Say "Yes" or "No". I am the crumbler: To-morrow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MILLION YOUNG WORKMEN, 1915 by CARL SANDBURG ACCOMPLISHED FACTS by CARL SANDBURG ADELAIDE CRAPSEY by CARL SANDBURG |
