    GRASS

    by: Carl Sandburg (1878-1967)

    PILE the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo,
    Shovel them under and let me work–
    I am the grass; I cover all.

    And pile them high at Gettysburg

    Shovel them under and let me work.

    What place is this?
    Where are we now?

    I am the grass.
    Let me work.
