The Harbor
I agree with Jeff. If you transcribe the poem phonetically, you will see
that Sandburg uses the same types of sounds, not just short "u" but sounds
that are dark, dreary, cold, and do not have a vowel in the final syllable.
He is setting a mood and wants the listener to feel the mood.

With the exception of the second, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth line, a
predominant sound throughout the poem is the short "u".
huddled, ugly
hunger
hunger
huddled, ugly
sudden
Not so much on this line: On a blue burst of lake,
under, sun
flung
fluttering, gulls
Masses of great gray wings
And flying white bellies
Veering and wheeling free in the open
I believe Sandburg is using assonance in this poem to set a tone, then
releasing that tone in the final three verses, much like the gulls were
released to wheel free in the open.

The contrast of the city to the shore is exquisite. One underlying meaning
one may extricate from the poem is that of one who has has his share of
lovers, all of which left him unsatisfied. Yet the shore, and its image of
gleaming beauty and youth gives the idea of a new love, one with meaning.
The blue lake appears to serve as a symbol for hope and rebirth in the
sexual awareness of the poet.
