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.
