Many Workmen
-Stephen Crane


Many workmen
Built a huge ball of masonry
Upon a mountaintop.
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 the swiftly;
It crushed them all to blood.
But some had opportunity to squeal.
