Which work was written by Carl Sandburg?

Carl Sandburg is known for writing about everyday American life in a clear, down-to-earth voice that often centers on common people and their stories. The title They Have Yarns evokes spoken tales and simple, neighborhood-focused storytelling, which fits Sandburg’s approach and body of work. In contrast, Snow-Bound is a famous poem by John Greenleaf Whittier, a different poet from an earlier era, so it clearly isn’t Sandburg’s. The other titles aren’t as closely associated with Sandburg’s well-known themes and style, making They Have Yarns the best match.
