(Historic) Waiting for the Chariot
Waiting for the Chariot Carl Sandburg's poem about Frances Gaines Cartwright: Can bare fact make the cloth of a shining poem? In Sangamon County, Illinois, they remembered how The aged widow walked a mile from home to Bethel Chapel Where she heard the services and was called on "To give her testimony," rising to speak freely, ending: "The past three weeks have been the happiest of all my life; I am waiting for the chariot." The pastor spoke the benediction; the members rose and moved Into the aisles toward the door, and looking back They saw the widow of the famous circuit rider Sitting quiet and pale in an unviolable dignity And they heard the pastor: "The chariot has arrived."
