Poppies

By Carl Sandburg

SHE loves blood-red poppies for a garden to walk in.

In a loose white gown she walks

and a new child tugs at cords in her body.

Her head to the west at evening when the dew is creeping,

A shudder of gladness runs in her bones and torsal fiber:

She loves blood-red poppies for a garden to walk in.
