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.

The People, Yes (1936) is probably Carl Sandburg's most popular single book. From his very first volumes, Sandburg was interested in the speech of Midwesterners, spoken by the working class of the industrial cities. In The People, Yes , his interest in folk speech and folk expression became a clear feature of his poetry.
