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
Carl Sandburg's Under a Hat Rim
I am busy working to bring Carl Sandburg's "Under a Hat Rim" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Carl Sandburg's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Under a Hat Rim" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
