Grass by Carl Sandburg<\/h3>\n
\n
Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.
\nShovel them under and let me work–
\nI am the grass; I cover all.And pile them high at Gettysburg
\nAnd pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.
\nShovel them under and let me work.
\nTwo years, ten years, and the passengers ask the conductor:
\nWhat place is this?
\nWhere are we now?I am the grass.
\nLet me work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A narrow fellow in the grass (1096)<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

By Emily Dickinson<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
A narrow fellow in the grass<\/div>\n
Occasionally rides;<\/div>\n
You may have met him\u2014did you not<\/div>\n
His notice sudden is,<\/div>\n
The grass divides as with a comb,<\/div>\n
A spotted shaft is seen,<\/div>\n
And then it closes at your feet,<\/div>\n
And opens further on.<\/div>\n
He likes a boggy acre,<\/div>\n
A floor too cool for corn,<\/div>\n
But when a boy and barefoot,<\/div>\n
I more than once at noon<\/div>\n
Have passed, I thought, a whip lash,<\/div>\n
Unbraiding in the sun,<\/div>\n
When stooping to secure it,<\/div>\n
It wrinkled and was gone.<\/div>\n
Several of nature\u2019s people<\/div>\n
I know, and they know me;<\/div>\n
I feel for them a transport<\/div>\n
Of cordiality.<\/div>\n
But never met this fellow,<\/div>\n
Attended or alone,<\/div>\n
Without a tighter breathing,<\/div>\n
And zero at the bone.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
