Many workmen | Poem by Stephen Crane

Many workmen Poem 

................... by Stephen Crane

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Many workmen
Built a huge ball of masonry
Upon a mountain-top.

Then they went to the valley below,
And turned to behold their work.

"It is grand," they said;
They loved the thing.


Of a sudden, it moved:
It came upon them swiftly;
It crushed them all to blood.

But some had opportunity to squeal.
