"Who is that man in garments quaint and rare?
Who is he who speaks in rhythms alien to my ear?
Who is he? Who is he?
To him I am as strange as he to me;
and in his questing eyes I read a silent plea.
Who are you? Who are you?
How sad it is we do not know each other;
but when he smiles,
At once I recognize -- my brother!
I hope that he can see in me his brother."
Carl M. Steubing was director of Mohawk Valley Chorus when, in the early 1960's he composed the music to a poem written by Dr. Miles J. Martin. Both men were Scotia, NY residents and both were affiliated with Scotia-Glenville Central Schools. Steubing was director of music; Martin, a long-time Board of Education member. It was Martin who penned the words to Brothers, a haunting, poignant song, about two men who passed each other in a faraway airport. Martin had been visiting India and was waiting in the airport for a flight home. His eyes met those of another man, a native of India, across the room. No words were exchanged. But, after boarding the airplane, Martin started to write about the encounter and the emotion it created. Later, he showed his poem to Steubing, who set it to music. Both men have died but the song they created will live on long after its performance today, long after all of our voices have also been silenced.

When did Carl Sandburg write poem Man with the five broken fingers?
I am extremely frustrated. Although it has been at least 43 years since I heard the poem "The Man With The Five Broken Fingers" by Carl Sandburg I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I was read the poem by my literature teacher when I was in the 8th grade. I believe the poem had to do with a man's treatment in a prison war camp during World War 2 ---- [Edit] The Poem first appeared on August 23, 1942. It was probably written earlier that year. See my link.
