Under a Hat Rim
Carl Sandburg
1878 to 1967
While the hum and the hurry
Of passing footfalls
Beat in my ear like the restless surf
Of a wind-blown sea,
A soul came to me
Out of the look on a face
Eyes like a lake
Where a storm-wind roams
Caught me from under
The rim of a hat
I thought of a midsea wreck
and bruised fingers clinging
to a broken state-room door
