It is Much
Carl Sandburg
1878 to 1967
Women of night life amid the lights
Where the line of your full, round throats
Matches in gleam the glint of your eyes
And the ring of your heart-deep laughter
It is much to be warm and sure of tomorrow.
Women of night life along the shadows,
Lean at your throats and skulking the walls,
Gaunt as a bitch worn to the bone,
Under the paint of your smiling faces
It is much to be warm and sure of tomorrow.
Carl Sandburg's It is Much
I am busy working to bring Carl Sandburg's "It is Much" 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 "It is Much" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
