Some toil and toil, believing,
Looking now and again on my face,
Catching a vital, olden glory.

More Quotes from Carl Sandburg:
Why is there always a secret singing when a lawyer cashes in Why does a hearse horse snicker hauling a lawyer away.Carl Sandburg
Time says hush by the gong of time you live. Listen and you hear time saying you were silent long before you came to life and you will again be silent long after you leave it, why not be a little silent now Hush yourself, noisy little man. Time hushes all the gong of time rang for you to come out of the hush and you were born. The gong of time will ring for you to go back to the same hush you came from. Winners and losers, the weak and the strong, those who say little and try to say it well, and those who babble and prattle their lives away, time hushes all.
Carl Sandburg

I have seen them
Live long and laugh loud,
Sent on singing, singing,
Smashed to the heart
Under the ribs
With a terrible love.
Carl Sandburg
