He loved to travel.
Born January 6, 1878
Carl Sandburg
Plow Boy AFTER the last red sunset glimmer, Black on the line of a low hill rise, Formed into moving shadows, I saw A plowboy and two horses lined against the gray, Plowing in the dusk the last furrow. The turf had a gleam of brown, And smell of soil was in the air, And, cool and moist, a haze of April. I shall remember you long, Plowboy and horses against the sky in shadow. I shall remember you and the picture You made for me, Turning the turf in the dusk And haze of an April gloaming.
He was the second of seven children.
Died- July 22, 1967
Everyone called him Charlie until his wife convinced him to change it back to Carl.
Was a hobo at one point.
Tried to write like Emily Dickenson once.
I think the tone of PLOW BOY is peaceful and serene. I think he's saying that he understands that the plow boy is working hard.
Note to self or Ms. Parker- Recording thingy wasn't working, got help from another student , no luck. Will try later when Ms. Parker returns.
