Man, the Man-Hunter by Carl Sandburg
I SAW Man, the man-hunter, Hunting with a torch in one hand And a kerosene can in the other, Hunting with guns, ropes, shackles. I listened And the high cry rang, The high cry of Man, the man-hunter: We’ll get you yet, you sbxyzch! I listened later. The high cry rang: Kill him! kill him! the sbxyzch! In the morning the sun saw Two butts of something, a smoking rump, And a warning in charred wood: Well, we got him, the sbxyzch.
