Carl Sandburg

Repetitions

THEY are crying salt tears  
Over the beautiful beloved body  
Of Inez Milholland,  
Because they are glad she lived,  
Because she loved open-armed,    
Throwing love for a cheap thing  
Belonging to everybody—  
Cheap as sunlight,  
And morning air.

Cornhuskers. 1918.
