Drum on your drums, batter on your banjos, sob on the long cool winding saxophones. Go to it, O jazzmen.

More from Carl Sandburg
Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during a moment.
Tell me if the lovers are losers... tell me if any get more than the lovers.
Lay me on an anvil, O God. Beat me and hammer me into a crowbar. Let me pry loose old walls. Let me lift and loosen old foundations.
