SUBWAY by CARL SANDBURG

Poet Analysis

First Line: DOWN BETWEEN THE WALLS OF SHADOW
Last Line: THROW THEIR LAUGHTER INTO TOIL.
Subject(s): SUBWAYS;
Down between the walls of shadow
Where the iron laws insist,
The hunger voices mock.
The worn wayfaring men
With the hunched and humble shoulders,
Throw their laughter into toil.
