Carl Sandburg Window Poems

Give me hunger,
O you gods that sit and give
The world its orders.
Give me hunger, pain and want,
...

Night from a railroad car window
Is a great, dark, soft thing
...

The pawn-shop man knows hunger,
And how far hunger has eaten the heart
Of one who comes with an old keepsake.
Here are wedding rings and baby bracelets,
...

Into the blue river hills
The red sun runners go
And the long sand changes
And to-day is a goner
...
