Carl Sandburg

Loin Cloth

BODY of Jesus taken down from the cross  
Carved in ivory by a lover of Christ,  
It is a child’s handful you are here,  
The breadth of a man’s finger,  
And this ivory loin cloth      
Speaks an interspersal in the day’s work,  
The carver’s prayer and whim  
And Christ-love.

Cornhuskers. 1918.
