ripple by Carl Sandburg

Once when I saw a cripple

Gasping slowly his last days with the white plague,

Looking from hollow eyes, calling for air,

Desperately gesturing with wasted hands

In the dark and dust of a house down in a slum,

I said to myself

I would rather have been a tall sunflower

Living in a country garden

Lifting a golden-brown face to the summer,

Rain-washed and dew-misted,

Mixed with the poppies and ranking hollyhocks,

And wonderingly watching night after night

The clear silent processionals of stars.

Which statement best describes the main theme of the poem?

• A. Escape in nature's beauty.

• B. Pity the unfortunate.

• C. Take care of the disabled.

• D. Life is like a sunflower.
