Carl Sandburg

Clark Street Bridge

DUST of the feet
And dust of the wheels,
Wagons and people going,
All day feet and wheels.
 
Now. . .
. . Only stars and mist
A lonely policeman,
Two cabaret dancers,
Stars and mist again,
No more feet or wheels,
No more dust and wagons.
 
    Voices of dollars
    And drops of blood
    . . . . .
    Voices of broken hearts,
    . . Voices singing, singing,
    . . Silver voices, singing,
    Softer than the stars,
    Softer than the mist.
