from "The People, Yes"

Trinity Episcopal School
by Carl Sandburg

I believe more than I can ever prove
of the future of the human race
and the importance of illusions,
the value of great expectations.
I would like to be in the same moment
an earthworm (which I am) and
a rider to the moon (which I am).
