Carl Sandburg

Here you will find the Poem It Is Much of poet Carl Sandburg

It Is Much

Women of night life amid the lights 
Where the line of your full, round throats 
Matches in gleam the glint of your eyes 
And the ring of your heart-deep laughter: 
It is much to be warm and sure of to-morrow.

Women of night life along the shadows, 
Lean at your throats and skulking the walls, 
Gaunt as a bitch worn to the bone, 
Under the paint of your smiling faces: 
It is much to be warm and sure of to-morrow.
