Carl Sandburg (1878–1967). Chicago Poems. 1916.

132. Broadway

I SHALL never forget you, Broadway

Your golden and calling lights.

I’ll remember you long,

Tall-walled river of rush and play.

Hearts that know you hate you

And lips that have given you laughter

Have gone to their ashes of life and its roses,

Cursing the dreams that were lost

In the dust of your harsh and trampled stones.
