Poem by Lola Ridge (1873-1941)

 

Submitted by a volunteer




An Old Workman

 

 

    Warped... gland-dry...
    With spine askew
    And body shrunken into half its space...
    Well-used as some cracked paving-stone...
    Bearing on his grimed and pitted front
    A stamp... as of innumerable feet.
