Poem - "Old Osawatomie" by Carl Sandburg

"Old Osawatomie" 
by Carl Sandburg



JOHN BROWN’S body under the morning stars.

Six feet of dust under the morning stars.
And a panorama of war performs itself
Over the six-foot stage of circling armies.
Room for Gettysburg, Wilderness, Chickamauga,
On a six-foot stage of dust.
