Grass af Carl Sandburg

06.11.2021 | digte

Jeg fandt det her ret fede digt om krig og gras. Det er skrevet af Carl Sandburg - en amerikansk forfatter jeg aldrig før har læst noget af.

Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo. Shovel them under and let me work— I am the grass; I cover all. And pile them high at Gettysburg And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun. Shovel them under and let me work. Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor: What place is this? Where are we now? I am the grass. Let me work.

Jeg er gras, lad mig gøre mit arbejde.
