  235. p. 87, line 28The curious sympathy one feels when feeling with the hand the naked meat of the body,
  236. p. 88, line 17I will go stay with her who waits for me, and with those women that are warm-blooded and sufficient for me,
  237. p. 89, line 9I pour the stuff to start sons and daughters fit for these States, I press with slow rude muscle,
  238. p. 89, line 18I shall expect them to interpenetrate with others, as I and you interpenetrate now,
  239. p. 89, line 22The loving day, the mounting sun, the friend I am happy with,
  240. p. 89, line 24The hillside whiten'd with blossoms of the mountain ash,
  241. p. 90, line 4Arms and hands of love, lips of love, phallic thumb of love, breasts of love, bellies press'd and glued together with love,
  242. p. 90, line 8The hairy wild-bee that murmurs and hankers up and down, that gripes the full-grown lady-flower, curves upon her with amorous firm legs, takes his will of her, and holds himself tremulous and tight till he is satisfied;
  243. p. 90, line 10Two sleepers at night lying close together as they sleep, one with an arm slanting down across and below the waist of the other,
  244. p. 90, line 14The no-form'd stings that sights, people, objects, sting me with,
  245. p. 91, line 8The greed that eats me day and night with hungry gnaw, till I saturate what shall produce boys to fill my place when I am through,
  246. p. 91, line 24To find a new unthought-of nonchalance with the best of Nature!
  247. p. 92, line 6To court destruction with taunts, with invitations!
  248. p. 92, line 8To rise thither with my inebriate soul!
  249. p. 92, line 10To feed the remainder of life with one hour of fulness and freedom!
  250. p. 92, line 11With one brief hour of madness and joy.
  251. p. 92, line 27Lusty, phallic, with the potent original loins, perfectly sweet,
  252. p. 93, line 24I AM he that aches with amorous love;
  253. p. 94, line 4To-day I go consort with Nature's darlings, to-night too,
  254. p. 94, line 6I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers,
  255. p. 94, line 7The echoes ring with our indecent calls, I pick out some low person for my dearest friend,
  256. p. 94, line 13ONCE I pass'd through a populous city imprinting my brain for future use with its shows, architecture, customs, traditions,
  257. p. 94, line 19I see her close beside me with silent lips sad and tremulous.
  258. p. 95, line 13Walking forth from the bower refresh'd with sleep,
  259. p. 97, line 6I will raise with it immortal reverberations through the States,
  260. p. 97, line 9Give me your tone therefore O death, that I may accord with it,
  261. p. 97, line 11Nor will I allow you to balk me any more with what I was calling life,
  262. p. 98, line 7But just possibly with you on a high hill, first watching lest any person for miles around approach unawares,
  263. p. 98, line 8Or possibly with you sailing at sea, or on the beach of the sea or some quiet island,
  264. p. 98, line 10With the comrade's long-dwelling kiss or the new husband's kiss,
  265. p. 99, line 4With the love of comrades,
  266. p. 99, line 5With the life-long love of comrades.
  267. p. 99, line 7I will make inseparable cities with their arms about each other's necks,
  268. p. 99, line 24Collecting, dispensing, singing, there I wander with them,
  269. p. 99, line 26Here, lilac, with a branch of pine,
  270. p. 100, line 6Interchange it youths with each other! let none render it back!)
  271. p. 100, line 15Not in sighs at night in rage dissatisfied with myself,
  272. p. 101, line 11When he whom I love travels with me or sits a long while holding me by the hand,
  273. p. 101, line 13Then I am charged with untold and untellable wisdom, I am silent, I require nothing further,
  274. p. 102, line 18Who oft as he saunter'd the streets curv'd with his arm the shoulder of his friend, while the arm of his friend rested upon him also.
  275. p. 102, line 19WHEN I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receiv'd with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me that follow'd,
  276. p. 103, line 3When I wander'd alone over the beach, and undressing bathed, laughing with the cool waters, and saw the sun rise,
  277. p. 103, line 6And the next came with equal joy, and with the next at evening came my friend,
  278. p. 103, line 13To begin with take warning, I am surely far different from what you suppose;
  279. p. 105, line 2Saturate them with yourself all ashamed and wet,
  280. p. 105, line 9Nor the processions in the streets, nor the bright windows with goods in them,
  281. p. 105, line 10Nor to converse with learn'd persons, or bear my share in the soiree or feast;
  282. p. 105, line 17Yet comes one a Manhattanese and ever at parting kisses me lightly on the lips with robust love,
  283. p. 106, line 1And I broke off a twig with a certain number of leaves upon it, and twined around it a little moss,
  284. p. 106, line 11I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you,
  285. p. 106, line 13You grew up with me, were a boy with me or a girl with me,
  286. p. 106, line 14I ate with you and slept with you, your body has become not yours only nor left my body mine only,
  287. p. 106, line 25I know I should be happy with them.
  288. p. 107, line 3(What indeed have I in common with them? or what with the destruction of them?)
  289. p. 107, line 13Those that go their own gait, erect, stepping with freedom and command, leading not following,
  290. p. 107, line 14Those with a never-quell'd audacity, those with sweet and lusty flesh clear of taint,
  291. p. 107, line 20But when I hear of the brotherhood of lovers, how it was with them,
  292. p. 107, line 23Then I am pensive—I hastily walk away fill'd with the bitterest envy.
  293. p. 110, line 11These with perfect trust to depict you as myself, the germs are in all men,
  294. p. 110, line 14SOMETIMES with one I love I fill myself with rage for fear I effuse unreturn'd love,
  295. p. 111, line 14O YOU whom I often and silently come where you are that I may be with you,
  296. p. 111, line 15As I walk by your side or sit near, or remain in the same room with you,
  297. p. 112, line 5Fancying how happy you were if I could be with you and become your comrade;
  298. p. 112, line 6Be it as if I were with you. (Be not too certain but I am now with you.)
  299. p. 112, line 10Each answering all, each sharing the earth with all.
  300. p. 112, line 16Who are the groups of old men going slowly with their arms about each other's necks?
  301. p. 112, line 19What myriads of dwellings are they fill'd with dwellers?
  302. p. 113, line 5I hear the Spanish dance with castanets in the chestnut shade, to the rebeck and guitar,
  303. p. 113, line 9I hear the locusts in Syria as they strike the grain and grass with the showers of their terrible clouds,
  304. p. 113, line 15I hear the wheeze of the slave-coffle as the slaves march on, as the husky gangs pass on by twos and threes, fasten'd together with wrist-chains and ankle-chains,
  305. p. 114, line 20Some are in storms, some in the night with the watch on the lookout,
  306. p. 114, line 21Some drifting helplessly, some with contagious diseases.
  307. p. 116, line 4I see Kneph, blooming, drest in blue, with the crown of feathers on his head,
  308. p. 116, line 15I see them raised high with stones by the marge of restless oceans, that the dead men's spirits when they wearied of their quiet graves might rise up through the mounds and gaze on the tossing billows, and be refresh'd by storms, immensity, liberty, action.
  309. p. 116, line 18I see the nomadic tribes with herds of oxen and cows,
  310. p. 116, line 19I see the table-lands notch'd with ravines, I see the jungles and deserts,
  311. p. 117, line 3I see the Wacho crossing the plains, I see the incomparable rider of horses with his lasso on his arm,
  312. p. 118, line 20You dim-descended, black, divine-soul'd African, large, fine-headed, nobly-form'd, superbly destin'd, on equal terms with me!
  313. p. 119, line 19Each of us limitless—each of us with his or her right upon the earth,
  314. p. 119, line 22You Hottentot with clicking palate! you woolly-hair'd hordes!
  315. p. 119, line 24You human forms with the fathomless ever-impressive countenances of brutes!
  316. p. 119, line 27You Austral negro, naked, red, sooty, with protrusive lip, groveling, seeking your food!
  317. p. 120, line 10I think some divine rapport has equalized me with them.
  318. p. 120, line 11You vapors, I think I have risen with you, moved away to distant continents, and fallen down there, for reasons,
  319. p. 120, line 12I think I have blown with you you winds;
  320. p. 120, line 13You waters I have finger'd every shore with you,
  321. p. 121, line 3Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,
  322. p. 121, line 10I carry them, men and women, I carry them with me wherever I go,
  323. p. 121, line 12I am fill'd with them, and I will fill them in return.)
  324. p. 121, line 16The black with his woolly head, the felon, the diseas'd, the illiterate person, are not denied;
  325. p. 121, line 22You air that serves me with breath to speak!
  326. p. 121, line 26I believe you are latent with unseen existences, you are so dear to me.
  327. p. 122, line 7From the living and the dead you have peopled your impassive surfaces, and the spirits thereof would be evident and amicable with me.
  328. p. 122, line 26Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
  329. p. 123, line 15It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.
  330. p. 124, line 17What is it I interchange so suddenly with strangers?
  331. p. 124, line 18What with some driver as I ride on the seat by his side?
  332. p. 124, line 19What with some fisherman drawing his seine by the shore as I walk by and pause?
  333. p. 125, line 4Allons! whoever you are come travel with me!
  334. p. 125, line 5Traveling with me you find what never tires.
  335. p. 125, line 17Allons! with power, liberty, the earth, the elements,
  336. p. 125, line 23He traveling with me needs the best blood, thews, endurance,
  337. p. 126, line 3Listen! I will be honest with you,
  338. p. 126, line 7You shall scatter with lavish hand all that you earn or achieve,
  339. p. 126, line 10What beckonings of love you receive you shall only answer with passionate kisses of parting,
  340. p. 126, line 22Journeyers as with companions, namely their own diverse phases,
  341. p. 126, line 24Journeyers gayly with their own youth, journeyers with their bearded and well-grain'd manhood,
  342. p. 126, line 25Journeyers with their womanhood, ample, unsurpass'd, content,
  343. p. 126, line 26Journeyers with their own sublime old age of manhood or womanhood,
  344. p. 126, line 27Old age, calm, expanded, broad with the haughty breadth of the universe,
  345. p. 126, line 28Old age, flowing free with the delicious near-by freedom of death.
  346. p. 127, line 12To carry buildings and streets with you afterward wherever you go,
  347. p. 127, line 14To take your lovers on the road with you, for all that you leave them behind you,
  348. p. 128, line 16Keeping fair with the customs, speaking not a syllable of itself,
  349. p. 128, line 24He going with me must go well arm'd,
  350. p. 128, line 25He going with me goes often with spare diet, poverty, angry enemies, desertions.
  351. p. 129, line 8Will you give me yourself? will you come travel with me?
  352. p. 129, line 19The current rushing so swiftly and swimming with me far away,
  353. p. 130, line 8I am with you, you men and women of a generation, or ever so many generations hence,
  354. p. 130, line 12Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood yet was hurried,
  355. p. 130, line 15Watched the Twelfth-month sea-gulls, saw them high in the air floating with motionless wings, oscillating their bodies,
  356. p. 130, line 22Look'd on the vapor as it flew in fleeces tinged with violet,
  357. p. 131, line 7Casting their flicker of black contrasted with wild red and yellow light over the tops of houses, and down into the clefts of streets.
  358. p. 132, line 12Was one with the rest, the days and haps of the rest,
  359. p. 132, line 16Lived the same life with the rest, the same old laughing, gnawing, sleeping,
  360. p. 133, line 1What gods can exceed these that clasp me by the hand, and with voices I love call me promptly and loudly by my nighest name as I approach?
  361. p. 133, line 7Flow on, river! flow with the flood-tide, and ebb with the ebb-tide!
  362. p. 133, line 9Gorgeous clouds of the sunset! drench with your splendor me, or the men and women generations after me!
  363. p. 133, line 19Be firm, rail over the river, to support those who lean idly, yet haste with the hasting current;
  364. p. 134, line 8We receive you with free sense at last, and are insatiate henceforward,
  365. p. 135, line 9He puts to-day out of himself with plasticity and love,
  366. p. 135, line 20The person he favors by day or sleeps with at night is blessed.
  367. p. 136, line 6He walks with perfect ease in the capitol,
  368. p. 136, line 11And the laborers perceive he could labor with them and love them,
  369. p. 138, line 6To launch off with absolute faith, to sweep through the ceaseless rings and never be quiet again.
  370. p. 138, line 10Always the vast slope drain'd by the Southern sea, inseparable with the slopes drain'd by the Eastern and Western seas,
  371. p. 138, line 16Always these compact lands tied at the hips with the belt stringing the huge oval lakes;
  372. p. 138, line 17Always the West with strong native persons, the increasing density there, the habitans, friendly, threatening, ironical, scorning invaders;
  373. p. 139, line 13Below, the red cedar festoon'd with tylandria, the pines and cypresses growing out of the white sand that spreads far and flat,
  374. p. 139, line 14Rude boats descending the big Pedee, climbing plants, parasites with color'd flowers and berries enveloping huge trees,
  375. p. 139, line 18The shadows, gleams, up under the leaves of the old sycamore-trees, the flames with the black smoke from the pitch-pine curling and rising;
  376. p. 140, line 1There are the negroes at work in good health, the ground in all directions is cover'd with pine straw;
  377. p. 140, line 13Encircling all, vast-darting up and wide, the American Soul, with equal hemispheres, one Love, one Dilation or Pride;
  378. p. 140, line 14In arriere the peace-talk with the Iroquois the aborigines, the calumet, the pipe of good-will, arbitration, and indorsement,
  379. p. 140, line 16The drama of the scalp-dance enacted with painted faces and guttural exclamations,
  380. p. 141, line 14Southward there, I screaming, with wings slow flapping, with the myriads of gulls wintering along the coasts of Florida,
  381. p. 141, line 15Otherways there atwixt the banks of the Arkansaw, the Rio Grande, the Nueces, the Brazos, the Tombigbee, the Red River, the Saskatchawan or the Osage, I with the spring waters laughing and skipping and running,
  382. p. 141, line 16Northward, on the sands, on some shallow bay of Paumanok, I with parties of snowy herons wading in the wet to seek worms and aquatic plants,
  383. p. 141, line 17Retreating, triumphantly twittering, the king-bird, from piercing the crow with its bill, for amusement—and I triumphantly twittering,
  384. p. 141, line 18The migrating flock of wild geese alighting in autumn to refresh themselves, the body of the flock feed, the sentinels outside move around with erect heads watching, and are from time to time reliev'd by other sentinels—and I feeding and taking turns with the rest,
  385. p. 142, line 1In Kanadian forests the moose, large as an ox, corner'd by hunters, rising desperately on his hind-feet, and plunging with his fore-feet, the hoofs as sharp as knives—and I, plunging at the hunters, corner'd and desperate,
  386. p. 142, line 19O the engineer's joys! to go with a locomotive!
  387. p. 142, line 21To push with resistless way and speed off in the distance.
  388. p. 143, line 9The sight of the flames maddens me with pleasure.
  389. p. 143, line 24I come with my clam-rake and spade, I come with my eel-spear,
  390. p. 143, line 26I laugh and work with them, I joke at my work like a mettlesome young man;
  391. p. 144, line 3My brood of grown and part-grown boys, who love to be with no one else so well as they love to be with me,
  392. p. 144, line 4By day to work with me, and by night to sleep with me.
  393. p. 144, line 5Another time in warm weather out in a boat, to lift the lobster-pots where they are sunk with heavy stones, (I know the buoys,)
  394. p. 144, line 7I pull the wicker pots up slantingly, the dark green lobsters are desperate with their claws as I take them out, I insert wooden pegs in the joints of their pincers,
  395. p. 144, line 13Another time trailing for blue-fish off Paumanok, I stand with braced body,
  396. p. 144, line 18The ships sailing, the Thousand Islands, the occasional timber-raft and the raftsmen with long-reaching sweep-oars,
  397. p. 145, line 15Again I spring up the rigging to look with the rest—we descend, wild with excitement,
  398. p. 146, line 7To make the people rage, weep, hate, desire, with yourself,
  399. p. 146, line 8To lead America—to quell America with a great tongue.
  400. p. 146, line 12My body done with materials, my sight done with my material eyes,
  401. p. 146, line 25To emerge and be of the sky, of the sun and moon and flying clouds, as one with them.
  402. p. 147, line 1To walk with erect carriage, a step springy and elastic,
  403. p. 147, line 2To look with calm gaze or with a flashing eye,
  404. p. 147, line 3To speak with a full and sonorous voice out of a broad chest,
  405. p. 147, line 4To confront with your personality all the other personalities of the earth.
  406. p. 148, line 2To be entirely alone with them, to find how much one can stand!
  407. p. 148, line 4To mount the scaffold, to advance to the muzzles of guns with perfect nonchalance!
  408. p. 149, line 24The beauty of wood-boys and wood-men with their clear untrimm'd faces,
  409. p. 150, line 16The crowded line of masons with trowels in their right hands rapidly laying the long side-wall, two hundred feet from front to rear,
  410. p. 150, line 18The bricks one after another each laid so workmanlike in its place, and set with a knock of the trowel-handle,
  411. p. 151, line 5The crowd with their lit faces watching, the glare and dense shadows;
  412. p. 151, line 8The chooser breathing his breath on the cold steel and trying the edge with his thumb,
  413. p. 151, line 14The antique European warrior with his axe in combat,
  414. p. 152, line 18Where the city stands with the brawniest breed of orators and bards,
  415. p. 153, line 27The forge-furnace is there, the melt is accomplish'd, the hammersmen are at hand with their tongs and hammers,
  416. p. 154, line 6Served Albic temples in woods or on plains, with unhewn pillars and the druids,
  417. p. 154, line 17He stands mask'd, clothed in red, with huge legs and strong naked arms,
  418. p. 156, line 24The shape of the gambling-board with its devilish winnings and losings,
  419. p. 156, line 25The shape of the step-ladder for the convicted and sentenced murderer, the murderer with haggard face and pinion'd arms,
  420. p. 157, line 1The sheriff at hand with his deputies, the silent and white-lipp'd crowd, the dangling of the rope.
  421. p. 157, line 23Shapes bracing the earth and braced with the whole earth.
  422. p. 158, line 3To fill the gross the torpid bulk with vital religious fire,
  423. p. 158, line 20Join'd with an irresistible, natural gravitation,
  424. p. 159, line 10The Crusaders' streams of shadowy midnight troops sped with the sunrise,
  425. p. 159, line 13Arthur vanish'd with all his knights, Merlin and Lancelot and Galahad, all gone, dissolv'd utterly like an exhalation;
  426. p. 159, line 15Embroider'd, dazzling, foreign world, with all its gorgeous legends, myths,
  427. p. 159, line 17Pass'd to its charnel vault, coffin'd with crown and armor on,
  428. p. 159, line 18Blazon'd with Shakspere's purple page,
  429. p. 159, line 24Smiling and pleas'd with palpable intent to stay,
  430. p. 160, line 24High rising tier on tier with glass and iron façades,
  431. p. 161, line 22With precious benefits to both, glory to all,
  432. p. 161, line 27To sound of different, prouder songs, with stronger themes,
  433. p. 162, line 3Away with themes of war! away with war itself!
  434. p. 162, line 7With thy undaunted armies, engineering,
  435. p. 162, line 10Away with old romance!
  436. p. 162, line 11Away with novels, plots and plays of foreign courts,
  437. p. 162, line 12Away with love-verses sugar'd in rhyme, the intrigues, amours of idlers,
  438. p. 162, line 15With perfumes, heat and wine, beneath the dazzling chandeliers.
  439. p. 163, line 7With latest connections, works, the inter-transportation of the world,
  440. p. 163, line 11This earth all spann'd with iron rails, with lines of steamships threading every sea,
  441. p. 163, line 15With Victory on thy left, and at thy right hand Law;
  442. p. 163, line 19With all thy wide geographies, manifold, different, distant,
  443. p. 164, line 8Overhand so steady, overhand they turn and fall with joyous clank,
  444. p. 165, line 4Or clutch'd to some young color-bearer's breast with desperate hands,
  445. p. 165, line 8For thy mere remnant grimed with dirt and smoke and sopp'd in blood,
  446. p. 166, line 7With the surge for base and accompaniment low and hoarse,
  447. p. 166, line 8With crackling blows of axes sounding musically driven by strong arms,
  448. p. 166, line 21Perennial hardy life of me with joys 'mid rain and many a summer sun,
  449. p. 166, line 30With Nature's calm content, with tacit huge delight,
  450. p. 167, line 10Joining with master-tongue bore part.
  451. p. 167, line 13(Area of murder-plots of thrones, with scent left yet of wars and scaffolds everywhere,)
  452. p. 168, line 3Here laugh with storm or sun, here joy, here patiently inure,
  453. p. 168, line 27Populous cities, the latest inventions, the steamers on the rivers, the railroads, with many a thrifty farm, with machinery,
  454. p. 169, line 23I will be even with you and you shall be even with me.
  455. p. 171, line 21The light and shade, the curious sense of body and identity, the greed that with perfect complaisance devours all things,
  456. p. 172, line 14I am this day just as much in love with them as you,
  457. p. 172, line 15Then I am in love with You, and with all my fellows upon the earth.
  458. p. 173, line 14Does all sit there with you, with the mystic unseen soul?
  459. p. 173, line 22Iron-works, forge-fires in the mountains or by river-banks, men around feeling the melt with huge crowbars, lumps of ore, the due combining of ore, limestone, coal,
  460. p. 174, line 5The cotton-bale, the stevedore's hook, the saw and buck of the sawyer, the mould of the moulder, the working-knife of the butcher, the ice-saw, and all the work with ice,
  461. p. 176, line 11I myself am a word with them—my qualities interpenetrate with theirs—my name is nothing to them,
  462. p. 176, line 14The charms that go with the mere looks of some men and women, are sayings and meanings also.
  463. p. 177, line 25The beautiful sister we know dances on with the rest.
  464. p. 177, line 26With her ample back towards every beholder,
  465. p. 177, line 27With the fascinations of youth and the equal fascinations of age,
  466. p. 178, line 3Duly approach and pass with their companions or a companion,
  467. p. 178, line 4Looking from no countenances of their own, but from the countenances of those who are with them,
  468. p. 178, line 9Every day in public appearing without fail, but never twice with the same companions.
  469. p. 179, line 11No politics, song, religion, behavior, or what not, is of account, unless it compare with the amplitude of the earth,
  470. p. 179, line 13I swear I begin to see love with sweeter spasms than that which responds love,
  471. p. 180, line 12I swear I will never henceforth have to do with the faith that tells the best,
  472. p. 180, line 13I will have to do only with that faith that leaves the best untold.
  473. p. 180, line 25Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace, force, fascination?
  474. p. 180, line 27The Night follows close with millions of suns, and sleep and restoring darkness.
  475. p. 183, line 15Plain I see you Western youths, see you tramping with the foremost,
  476. p. 184, line 6Central inland race are we, from Missouri, with the continental blood intervein'd,
  477. p. 184, line 10O beloved race in all! O my breast aches with tender love for all!
  478. p. 184, line 11O I mourn and yet exult, I am rapt with love for all,
  479. p. 184, line 22With accessions ever waiting, with the places of the dead quickly fill'd,
  480. p. 184, line 30Falling in they beat for us, with the Western movement beat,
  481. p. 185, line 3All the seamen and the landsmen, all the masters with their slaves,
  482. p. 185, line 9I too with my soul and body,
  483. p. 185, line 11Through these shores amid the shadows, with the apparitions pressing,
  484. p. 185, line 15All the dazzling days, all the mystic nights with dreams,
  485. p. 185, line 17These are of us, they are with us,
  486. p. 186, line 5Till with sound of trumpet,
  487. p. 186, line 15I whisper with my lips close to your ear,
  488. p. 189, line 1But remember the little voice that I heard wailing, and wait with perfect trust, no matter how long,
  489. p. 189, line 3And I send these words to Paris with my love,
  490. p. 189, line 12To stand the cold or heat, to take good aim with a gun, to sail a boat, to manage horses, to beget superb children,
  491. p. 189, line 19But to chisel with free stroke the heads and limbs of plenteous supreme Gods, that the States may realize them walking and talking.
  492. p. 190, line 23I would sing how an old man, tall, with white hair, mounted the scaffold in Virginia,
  493. p. 190, line 24(I was at hand, silent I stood with teeth shut close, I watch'd,
  494. p. 190, line 25I stood very near you old man when cool and indifferent, but trembling with age and your unheal'd wounds you mounted the scaffold;)
  495. p. 191, line 3The proud black ships of Manhattan arriving, some fill'd with immigrants, some from the isthmus with cargoes of gold,
  496. p. 191, line 6(Remember you surging Manhattan's crowds as you pass'd with your cortege of nobles?
  497. p. 191, line 7There in the crowds stood I, and singled you out with attachment;)
  498. p. 191, line 15Of such, and fitful as they, I sing—with gleams from them would I gleam and patch these chants,
  499. p. 191, line 16Your chants, O year all mottled with evil and good—year of forebodings!
  500. p. 191, line 20WITH antecedents,
  501. p. 191, line 21With my fathers and mothers and the accumulations of past ages,
  502. p. 191, line 22With all which, had it not been, I would not now be here, as I am,
  503. p. 191, line 23With Egypt, India, Phenicia, Greece and Rome,
  504. p. 191, line 24With the Kelt, the Scandinavian, the Alb and the Saxon,
  505. p. 192, line 1With antique maritime ventures, laws, artisanship, wars and journeys,
  506. p. 192, line 2With the poet, the skald, the saga, the myth, and the oracle,
  507. p. 192, line 3With the sale of slaves, with enthusiasts, with the troubadour, the crusader, and the monk,
  508. p. 192, line 4With those old continents whence we have come to this new continent,
  509. p. 192, line 5With the fading kingdoms and kings over there,
  510. p. 192, line 6With the fading religions and priests,
  511. p. 192, line 7With the small shores we look back to from our own large and present shores,
  512. p. 192, line 8With countless years drawing themselves onward and arrived at these years,
  513. p. 193, line 13In the procession along with the nobles of Niphon, the errand-bearers,
  514. p. 193, line 17When the thunder-cracking guns arouse me with the proud roar I love,
  515. p. 193, line 19When the fire-flashing guns have fully alerted me, and heaven-clouds canopy my city with a delicate thin haze,
  516. p. 193, line 20When gorgeous the countless straight stems, the forests at the wharves, thicken with colors,
  517. p. 194, line 2When the façades of the houses are alive with people, when eyes gaze riveted tens of thousands at a time,
  518. p. 194, line 5I too arising, answering, descend to the pavements, merge with the crowd, and gaze with them.
  519. p. 194, line 13Florid with blood, pensive, rapt with musings, hot with passion,
  520. p. 194, line 14Sultry with perfume, with ample and flowing garments,
  521. p. 194, line 15With sunburnt visage, with intense soul and glittering eyes,
  522. p. 195, line 1The countries there with their populations, the millions en-masse are curiously here,
  523. p. 195, line 2The swarming market-places, the temples with idols ranged along the sides or at the end, bonze, brahmin, and llama,
  524. p. 196, line 4Young Libertad! with the venerable Asia, the all-mother,
  525. p. 196, line 5Be considerate with her now and ever hot Libertad, for you are all,
  526. p. 196, line 22From under that yellow half-moon late-risen and swollen as if with tears,
  527. p. 197, line 17And their nest, and four light-green eggs spotted with brown,
  528. p. 197, line 19And every day the she-bird crouch'd on her nest, silent, with bright eyes,
  529. p. 198, line 17Silent, avoiding the moonbeams, blending myself with the shadows,
  530. p. 198, line 20I, with bare feet, a child, the wind wafting my hair,
  531. p. 198, line 29It is lagging—O I think it is heavy with love, with love.
  532. p. 198, line 31With love, with love.
  533. p. 199, line 12Perhaps the one I want so much will rise, will rise with some of you.
  534. p. 199, line 31With this just-sustain'd note I announce myself to you,
  535. p. 200, line 12But my mate no more, no more with me!
  536. p. 200, line 17With angry moans the fierce old mother incessantly moaning,
  537. p. 200, line 20The boy ecstatic, with his bare feet the waves, with his hair the atmosphere dallying,
  538. p. 201, line 28With the thousand responsive songs at random,
  539. p. 201, line 30And with them the key, the word up from the waves,
  540. p. 202, line 1AS I ebb'd with the ocean of life,
  541. p. 202, line 17As I walk'd with that electric self seeking types.
  542. p. 202, line 26Oppress'd with myself that I have dared to open my mouth,
  543. p. 202, line 29Withdrawn far, mocking me with mock-congratulatory signs and bows,
  544. p. 202, line 30With peals of distant ironical laughter at every word I have written,
  545. p. 203, line 4You oceans both, I close with you,
  546. p. 203, line 7You friable shore with trails of debris,
  547. p. 203, line 18Touch me with your lips as I touch those I love,
  548. p. 204, line 18O who is that ghost? that form in the dark, with tears?
  549. p. 204, line 20Streaming tears, sobbing tears, throes, choked with wild cries;
  550. p. 204, line 21O storm, embodied, rising, careering with swift steps along the beach!
  551. p. 204, line 22O wild and dismal night storm, with wind—O belching and desperate!
  552. p. 204, line 23O shade so sedate and decorous by day, with calm countenance and regulated pace,
  553. p. 205, line 2After the night's fierce drifts have strewn the shore with wrecks,
  554. p. 205, line 3With re-appearing day as now so happy and serene,
  555. p. 205, line 8To cope with heaven and earth and sea and hurricane,
  556. p. 205, line 16A young steersman steering with care.
  557. p. 205, line 23The beautiful and noble ship with all her precious wealth speeds away gayly and safe.
  558. p. 205, line 27Stands a child with her father,
  559. p. 206, line 12With these kisses let me remove your tears,
  560. p. 206, line 22(With my lips soothing thee, adding I whisper,
  561. p. 207, line 4The sperm-whale at the surface blowing air and spray, or disporting with his flukes,
  562. p. 207, line 24Of ships sailing the seas, each with its special flag or ship-signal,
  563. p. 208, line 23Steady the roar of the gale, with incessant undertone muttering,
  564. p. 209, line 12Toward that whirling current, laughing and buoyant, with curves,
  565. p. 209, line 16A motley procession with many a fleck of foam and many fragments,
  566. p. 210, line 12If you blind your eyes with tears you will not see the President's marshal,
  567. p. 210, line 18Is this hour with the living too dead for you?
  568. p. 210, line 24They shall get a grant from the Parliament, go with a cart to the royal vault,
  569. p. 211, line 2Up with your anchor—shake out your sails—steer straight toward Boston bay.
  570. p. 211, line 4Fetch home the roarers from Congress, make another procession, guard it with foot and dragoons.
  571. p. 212, line 4Each comes in state with his train, hangman, priest, tax-gatherer,
  572. p. 212, line 16Cold and motionless as they seem live elsewhere with unslaughter'd vitality.
  573. p. 213, line 7Joints rheumatic, bowels clogged with abomination,
  574. p. 214, line 6Such-like, and as good as such-like, visible here or anywhere, stand provided for in a handful of space, which I extend my arm and half enclose with my hand,
  575. p. 214, line 16When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
  576. p. 215, line 2Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill'd with the foolish,
  577. p. 215, line 6Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
  578. p. 215, line 15I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men at anguish with themselves, remorseful after deeds done,
  579. p. 216, line 5A little sustenance, a hut and garden, a little money, as I rendezvous with my poems,
  580. p. 216, line 22A sunlit pasture field with cattle and horses feeding,
  581. p. 217, line 5He is lean and sinewy with muscular legs,
  582. p. 217, line 7With lightly closed fists and arms partially rais'd.
  583. p. 218, line 13Forms, colors, densities, odors—what is it in me that corresponds with them?
  584. p. 218, line 15Around each gathers a cluster of friends, and gay children and youths, with offerings.
  585. p. 219, line 5(With gathering murk, with muttering thunder and lambent shoots we all duly awake,
  586. p. 219, line 10How at once with lithe limbs unwaiting a moment she sprang,
  587. p. 219, line 13How you sprang—how you threw off the costumes of peace with indifferent hand,
  588. p. 219, line 20With her million children around her, suddenly,
  589. p. 219, line 22Incens'd struck with clinch'd hand the pavement.
  590. p. 219, line 24Till with ominous hum our hive at daybreak pour'd out its myriads.
  591. p. 220, line 5The mechanics arming, (the trowel, the jack-plane, the blacksmith's hammer, tost aside with precipitation,)
  592. p. 220, line 14(How good they look as they tramp down to the river, sweaty, with their guns on their shoulders!
  593. p. 220, line 15How I love them! how I could hug them, with their brown faces and their clothes and knapsacks cover'd with dust!)
  594. p. 221, line 12But now you smile with joy exulting old Mannahatta.
  595. p. 221, line 17With well-gristled body and sunburnt face and hands, with a knife in the belt at your side,
  596. p. 221, line 21Or with large steps crossing the prairies out of Illinois and Indiana,
  597. p. 221, line 22Rapidly crossing the West with springy gait and descending the Alleghanies,
  598. p. 222, line 8Leave not the bridegroom quiet—no happiness must he have now with his bride,
  599. p. 223, line 20With the banner and pennant a-flapping.
  600. p. 223, line 25Crying with trumpet voice, Arouse and beware! Beware and arouse!)
  601. p. 223, line 26I'll pour the verse with streams of blood, full of volition, full of joy,
  602. p. 223, line 28With the banner and pennant a-flapping.
  603. p. 224, line 2To fly in the clouds and winds with me, and play with the measureless light.
  604. p. 224, line 3Father what is that in the sky beckoning to me with long finger?
  605. p. 224, line 8And see you the vehicles preparing to crawl along the streets with goods;
  606. p. 224, line 15Floating so buoyant with milk-white foam on the waters.
  607. p. 224, line 17I am not the wind with girlish laughter,
  608. p. 225, line 3Behold with the rest again I say, behold not banners and pennants aloft,
  609. p. 225, line 16I do not deny the precious results of peace, I see populous cities with wealth incalculable,
  610. p. 226, line 22Child of mine you fill me with anguish,
  611. p. 226, line 26Forward to stand in front of wars—and O, such wars!—what have you to do with them?
  612. p. 226, line 27With passions of demons, slaughter, premature death?
  613. p. 227, line 2Blent with the sounds of the peaceful land and the liquid wash of the sea,
  614. p. 227, line 4And the icy cool of the far, far north, with rustling cedars and pines,
  615. p. 227, line 7And all between those shores, and my ever running Mississippi with bends and chutes,
  616. p. 227, line 10Pour in! whelm that which asks, which sings, with all and the yield of all,
  617. p. 227, line 12No more with tender lip, nor musical labial sound,
  618. p. 227, line 22You thought not to destroy those valuable houses, standing fast, full of comfort, built with money,
  619. p. 228, line 1Not the superb ships with sail-power or steam-power, fetching and carrying cargoes,
  620. p. 228, line 9So loved—O you banner leading the day with stars brought from the night!
  621. p. 228, line 12I see but you, O warlike pennant! O banner so broad, with stripes, I sing you only,
  622. p. 228, line 20I watch'd with joy the threatening maws of the waves,
  623. p. 229, line 4These, and such as these, I, elate, saw—saw with wonder, yet pensive and masterful,
  624. p. 229, line 6Yet there with my soul I fed, I fed content, supercilious.
  625. p. 229, line 17Manhattan rising, advancing with menacing front—Cincinnati, Chicago, unchain'd;
  626. p. 229, line 19How it climbs with daring feet and hands—how it dashes!
  627. p. 229, line 21How Democracy with desperate vengeful port strides on, shown through the dark by those flashes of lightning!
  628. p. 229, line 24Thunder on! stride on, Democracy! strike with vengeful stroke!
  629. p. 230, line 6I refresh'd myself with it only, I could relish it only,
  630. p. 230, line 14I saw with hand uplifted, menacing, brandishing,
  631. p. 230, line 21Then the Mother of All with calm voice speaking,
  632. p. 231, line 4City whose gleeful tides continually rush or recede, whirling in and out with eddies and foam!
  633. p. 231, line 27The troops are but drilling, they are yet surrounded with smiles,
  634. p. 232, line 6When I clutch'd your hand it was not with terror,
  635. p. 232, line 12As eighty-five years a-gone no mere parade receiv'd with applause of friends,
  636. p. 232, line 28And the transports swarming with soldiers.
  637. p. 232, line 31A veteran force furnish'd with good artillery.
  638. p. 233, line 8Jauntily forward they went with quick step toward Gowanus' waters,
  639. p. 234, line 2No women looking on nor sunshine to bask in, it did not conclude with applause,
  640. p. 234, line 15Every one else seem'd fill'd with gloom,
  641. p. 235, line 18Below a fertile valley spread, with barns and the orchards of summer,
  642. p. 235, line 20Broken, with rocks, with clinging cedars, with tall shapes dingily seen,
  643. p. 236, line 1WITH its cloud of skirmishers in advance,
  644. p. 236, line 2With now the sound of a single shot snapping like a whip, and now an irregular volley,
  645. p. 236, line 6With artillery interspers'd—the wheels rumble, the horses sweat,
  646. p. 236, line 22Cool and sweeten Ohio's villages with leaves fluttering in the moderate wind,
  647. p. 237, line 1Above all, lo, the sky so calm, so transparent after the rain, and with wondrous clouds,
  648. p. 237, line 11All swims before her eyes, flashes with black, she catches the main words only,
  649. p. 237, line 15Amid all teeming and wealthy Ohio with all its cities and farms,
  650. p. 237, line 25She with thin form presently drest in black,
  651. p. 237, line 27In the midnight waking, weeping, longing with one deep longing,
  652. p. 237, line 29To follow, to seek, to be with her dear dead son.
  653. p. 238, line 3One look I but gave which your dear eyes return'd with a look I shall never forget,
  654. p. 238, line 13Passing sweet hours, immortal and mystic hours with you dearest comrade—not a tear, not a word,
  655. p. 238, line 22Ending my vigil strange with that, vigil of night and battle-field dim,
  656. p. 239, line 2A route through a heavy wood with muffled steps in the darkness,
  657. p. 239, line 3Our army foil'd with loss severe, and the sullen remnant retreating,
  658. p. 239, line 9And by one great pitchy torch stationary with wild red flame and clouds of smoke,
  659. p. 240, line 8Then with light fingers I from the face of the nearest the first just lift the blanket;
  660. p. 240, line 9Who are you elderly man so gaunt and grim, with well-gray'd hair, and flesh all sunken about the eyes?
  661. p. 240, line 12Who are you sweet boy with cheeks yet blooming?
  662. p. 242, line 4What stays with you latest and deepest? of curious panics,
  663. p. 242, line 8Soldier alert I arrive after a long march cover'd with sweat and dust,
  664. p. 242, line 16With hinged knees returning I enter the doors, (while for you up there,
  665. p. 242, line 26Soon to be fill'd with clotted rags and blood, emptied, and fill'd again.
  666. p. 242, line 28With hinged knees and steady hand to dress wounds,
  667. p. 242, line 29I am firm with each, the pangs are sharp yet unavoidable,
  668. p. 243, line 5The neck of the cavalry-man with the bullet through and through I examine,
  669. p. 243, line 11Back on his pillow the soldier bends with curv'd neck and side-falling head,
  670. p. 243, line 17I dress the perforated shoulder, the foot with the bullet-wound,
  671. p. 243, line 18Cleanse the one with a gnawing and putrid gangrene, so sickening, so offensive,
  672. p. 243, line 22These and more I dress with impassive hand, (yet deep in my breast a fire, a burning flame.)
  673. p. 243, line 25The hurt and wounded I pacify with soothing hand,
  674. p. 244, line 6But now, ah now, to learn from crises of anguish, advancing, grappling with direst fate and recoiling not,
  675. p. 244, line 9GIVE me the splendid silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling,
  676. p. 244, line 20These demanding to have them, (tired with ceaseless excitement, and rack'd by the war-strife,)
  677. p. 245, line 14Give me Broadway, with the soldiers marching—give me the sound of the trumpets and drums!
  678. p. 245, line 16Some, their time up, returning with thinn'd ranks, young, yet very old, worn, marching, noticing nothing;)
  679. p. 245, line 17Give me the shores and wharves heavy-fringed with black ships!
  680. p. 245, line 21The dense brigade bound for the war, with high piled military wagons following;
  681. p. 245, line 22People, endless, streaming, with strong voices, passions, pageants,
  682. p. 245, line 23Manhattan streets with their powerful throbs, with beating drums as now,
  683. p. 245, line 25Manhattan crowds, with their turbulent musical chorus!
  684. p. 246, line 12As with voices and with tears.
  685. p. 246, line 17For the son is brought with the father,
  686. p. 246, line 30O moon immense with your silvery face you soothe me!
  687. p. 247, line 19I, ecstatic, O partners! O lands! with the love of lovers tie you.
  688. p. 248, line 1I saw them receive their orders aside, they listen'd with care, the adjutant was very grave,
  689. p. 248, line 2I saw them depart with cheerfulness, freely risking their lives.
  690. p. 248, line 16Elsewhere I hear the cry of a regiment charging, (the young colonel leads himself this time with brandish'd sword,)
  691. p. 248, line 20Then resumed the chaos louder than ever, with eager calls and orders of officers,
  692. p. 249, line 3With the patter of small arms, the warning s-s-t of the rifles, (these in my vision I hear or see,)
  693. p. 249, line 6With your woolly-white and turban'd head, and bare bony feet?
  694. p. 249, line 18Why wag your head with turban bound, yellow, red and green?
  695. p. 249, line 21Nor delicatesse, I cannot beguile the time with talk,
  696. p. 250, line 14You came, taciturn, with nothing to give—we but look'd on each other,
  697. p. 250, line 18On the dead on their backs with arms toss'd wide,
  698. p. 251, line 3Bend down and touch lightly with my lips the white face in the coffin.
  699. p. 251, line 15AS I lay with my head in your lap camerado,
  700. p. 251, line 24Dear camerado! I confess I have urged you onward with me, and still urge you, without the least idea what is our destination,
  701. p. 252, line 5Flag cerulean—sunny flag, with the orbs of night dappled!
  702. p. 252, line 15With slow wail and convulsive throb leading the officer's funeral;)
  703. p. 252, line 17And go lull yourself with what you can understand, and with piano-tunes,
  704. p. 252, line 20Where thou with mighty brow regarding the world,
  705. p. 252, line 23Dominant, with the dazzling sun around thee,
  706. p. 253, line 5That with muttering voice through the war now closed, like a tireless phantom flitted,
  707. p. 253, line 6Rousing the land with breath of flame, while you beat and beat the drum,
  708. p. 253, line 12Moving with steady motion, swaying to and fro to the right and left,
  709. p. 253, line 16Leave me your pulses of rage—bequeath them to me—fill me with currents convulsive,
  710. p. 253, line 23Red battles with their slaughter, the stimulus, the strong terrific game,
  711. p. 253, line 25With war and war's expression.
  712. p. 254, line 3Through untried roads with ambushes opponents lined,
  713. p. 255, line 9I mourn'd, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
  714. p. 255, line 19Stands the lilac-bush tall-growing with heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
  715. p. 255, line 20With many a pointed blossom rising delicate, with the perfume strong I love,
  716. p. 256, line 1With every leaf a miracle—and from this bush in the dooryard,
  717. p. 256, line 2With delicate-color'd blossoms and heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
  718. p. 256, line 3A sprig with its flower I break.
  719. p. 256, line 20Through day and night with the great cloud darkening the land,
  720. p. 256, line 21With the pomp of the inloop'd flags with the cities draped in black,
  721. p. 256, line 22With the show of the States themselves as of crape-veil'd women standing,
  722. p. 256, line 23With processions long and winding and the flambeaus of the night,
  723. p. 256, line 24With the countless torches lit, with the silent sea of faces and the unbared heads,
  724. p. 256, line 25With the waiting depot, the arriving coffin, and the sombre faces,
  725. p. 256, line 26With dirges through the night, with the thousand voices rising strong and solemn,
  726. p. 256, line 27With all the mournful voices of the dirges pour'd around the coffin,
  727. p. 257, line 1With the tolling tolling bells' perpetual clang,
  728. p. 257, line 8O death, I cover you over with roses and early lilies,
  729. p. 257, line 11With loaded arms I come, pouring for you,
  730. p. 258, line 6These and with these and the breath of my chant,
  731. p. 258, line 12With the Fourth-month eve at sundown, and the gray smoke lucid and bright,
  732. p. 258, line 13With floods of the yellow gold of the gorgeous, indolent, sinking sun, burning, expanding the air,
  733. p. 258, line 14With the fresh sweet herbage under foot, and the pale green leaves of the trees prolific,
  734. p. 258, line 15In the distance the flowing glaze, the breast of the river, with a wind-dapple here and there,
  735. p. 258, line 16With ranging hills on the banks, with many a line against the sky, and shadows,
  736. p. 258, line 17And the city at hand with dwellings so dense, and stacks of chimneys,
  737. p. 258, line 20My own Manhattan with spires, and the sparkling and hurrying tides, and the ships,
  738. p. 258, line 22And ever the far-spreading prairies cover'd with grass and corn.
  739. p. 258, line 24The violet and purple morn with just-felt breezes,
  740. p. 259, line 8Loud human song, with voice of uttermost woe.
  741. p. 259, line 12Yet the lilac with mastering odor holds me.
  742. p. 259, line 14In the close of the day with its light and the fields of spring, and the farmers preparing their crops,
  743. p. 259, line 15In the large unconscious scenery of my land with its lakes and forests,
  744. p. 259, line 19And the summer approaching with richness, and the fields all busy with labor,
  745. p. 259, line 20And the infinite separate houses, how they all went on, each with its meals and minutia of daily usages,
  746. p. 259, line 22Falling upon them all and among them all, enveloping me with the rest,
  747. p. 259, line 25Then with the knowledge of death as walking one side of me,
  748. p. 260, line 1And I in the middle as with companions, and as holding the hands of companions,
  749. p. 260, line 22Dark mother always gliding near with soft feet,
  750. p. 261, line 8I float this carol with joy, with joy to thee O death.
  751. p. 261, line 11With pure deliberate notes spreading filling the night.
  752. p. 261, line 14And I with my comrades there in the night.
  753. p. 261, line 19Borne through the smoke of the battles and pierc'd with missiles I saw them,
  754. p. 262, line 4Sadly sinking and fainting, as warning and warning, and yet again bursting with joy,
  755. p. 262, line 7Passing, I leave thee lilac with heart-shaped leaves,
  756. p. 262, line 8I leave thee there in the door-yard, blooming, returning with spring.
  757. p. 262, line 10From my gaze on thee in the west, fronting the west, communing with thee,
  758. p. 262, line 11O comrade lustrous with silver face in the night.
  759. p. 262, line 15With the lustrous and drooping star with the countenance full of woe,
  760. p. 262, line 16With the holders holding my hand nearing the call of the bird,
  761. p. 262, line 19Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul,
  762. p. 263, line 10From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
  763. p. 263, line 12But I with mournful tread,
  764. p. 263, line 17And each with musing soul retire to celebrate,
  765. p. 264, line 3A Phantom gigantic superb, with stern visage accosted me,
  766. p. 265, line 4All comes by the body, only health puts you rapport with the universe.
  767. p. 265, line 10I am he who walks the States with a barb'd tongue, questioning every one I meet,
  768. p. 265, line 13(With pangs and cries as thine own O bearer of many children,
  769. p. 266, line 3Takes the lesson with calmness, perceives the corpse slowly borne from the house,
  770. p. 266, line 11Here the doings of men correspond with the broadcast doings of the day and night,
  771. p. 266, line 20Used to dispense with other lands, incarnating this land,
  772. p. 266, line 21Attracting it body and soul to himself, hanging on its neck with incomparable love,
  773. p. 266, line 25Mississippi with yearly freshets and changing chutes, Columbia, Niagara, Hudson, spending themselves lovingly in him,
  774. p. 266, line 26If the Atlantic coast stretch or the Pacific coast stretch, he stretching with them North or South,
  775. p. 267, line 3He likening sides and peaks of mountains, forests coated with northern transparent ice,
  776. p. 267, line 12The Union always swarming with blatherers and always sure and impregnable,
  777. p. 267, line 22The perfect equality of the female with the male, the fluid movement of the population,
  778. p. 268, line 4On and on to the grapple with it—Assassin! then your life or ours be the stake, and respite no more.
  779. p. 268, line 9With war's flames and the lambent lightnings playing,
  780. p. 268, line 11With still the inextinguishable glance and the clinch'd and lifted fist,
  781. p. 268, line 13The menacing arrogant one that strode and advanced with his senseless scorn, bearing the murderous knife,
  782. p. 268, line 21O well-beloved stone-cutters, I lead them who plan with decision and science,
  783. p. 268, line 22Lead the present with friendly hand toward the future.
  784. p. 268, line 24But damn that which spends itself with no thought of the stain, pains, dismay, feebleness, it is bequeathing.)
  785. p. 269, line 4Of all races and eras these States with veins full of poetical stuff most need poets, and are to have the greatest, and use them the greatest,
  786. p. 270, line 1He sees eternity less like a play with a prologue and denouement,
  787. p. 270, line 28He shall surely be question'd beforehand by me with many and stern questions.
  788. p. 271, line 11Are you done with reviews and criticisms of life? animating now to life itself?
  789. p. 271, line 16Is it uniform with my country?
  790. p. 271, line 23Does it sound with trumpet-voice the proud victory of the Union in that secession war?
  791. p. 272, line 5The track strew'd with the dust of skeletons,
  792. p. 272, line 23Justice, health, self-esteem, clear the way with irresistible power;
  793. p. 273, line 8Gone freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young, and with the mothers of families,
  794. p. 273, line 27The American compact is altogether with individuals,
  795. p. 274, line 1(Mother! with subtle sense severe, with the naked sword in your hand,
  796. p. 274, line 2I saw you at last refuse to treat but directly with individuals.)
  797. p. 274, line 5I swear I am charm'd with nothing except nativity,
  798. p. 275, line 4I am for those who walk abreast with the whole earth,
  799. p. 275, line 12Saw you with spreading mantle covering the world.)
  800. p. 276, line 3I thrill'd with the power's pulsations, and the charm of my theme was upon me,
  801. p. 276, line 18Bards with songs as from burning coals or the lightning's fork'd stripes!
  802. p. 277, line 7With the old streams of death.)
  803. p. 277, line 21Raging over the vast, with many a broken spar and tatter'd sail.)
  804. p. 278, line 28Thou groan'st with riches, thy wealth clothes thee as a swathing-garment,
  805. p. 278, line 29Thou laughest loud with ache of great possessions,
  806. p. 279, line 10Sad were the shows around me with deafening noises of hatred and smoke of war;
  807. p. 279, line 12Or pass'd with slow step through the wounded and dying.
  808. p. 279, line 19(Pass, pass, ye proud brigades, with your tramping sinewy legs,
  809. p. 279, line 20With your shoulders young and strong, with your knapsacks and your muskets;
  810. p. 279, line 25O you regiments so piteous, with your mortal diarrhoea, with your fever,
  811. p. 279, line 26O my land's maim'd darlings, with the plenteous bloody bandage and the crutch,
  812. p. 280, line 15I saw them approaching, defiling by with divisions,
  813. p. 280, line 31With saner wars, sweet wars, life-giving wars.

  815. p. 281, line 18And healthy uplands with herby-perfumed breezes,
  816. p. 281, line 22With dilated form and lambent eyes watch'd you.
  817. p. 281, line 28Beholdest moving in every direction imbued as with life the revolving hay-rakes,
  818. p. 282, line 2With these and else and with their own strong hands the heroes harvest.
  819. p. 283, line 2And the water-plants with their graceful flat heads, all became part of him.
  820. p. 283, line 5And the apple-trees cover'd with blossoms and the fruit afterward, and wood-berries, and the commonest weeds by the road,
  821. p. 283, line 15The mother with mild words, clean her cap and gown, a wholesome odor falling off her person and clothes as she walks by,
  822. p. 284, line 15You need crouch there no longer on the cold ground with forehead between your knees,
  823. p. 284, line 23And now with rosy and new blood,
  824. p. 285, line 7Or white-domed capitol with majestic figure surmounted, or all the old high-spired cathedrals,
  825. p. 285, line 24Is not every continent work'd over and over with sour dead?
  826. p. 286, line 3I will run a furrow with my plough, I will press my spade through the sod and turn it up underneath,
  827. p. 286, line 11The resurrection of the wheat appears with pale visage out of its graves,
  828. p. 286, line 22That it is safe to allow it to lick my naked body all over with its tongues,
  829. p. 286, line 23That it will not endanger me with the fevers that have deposited themselves in it,
  830. p. 287, line 3It turns harmless and stainless on its axis, with such endless successions of diseas'd corpses,
  831. p. 287, line 5It renews with such unwitting looks its prodigal, annual, sumptuous crops,
  832. p. 287, line 18And he going with me leaves peace and routine behind him,
  833. p. 287, line 20The battle rages with many a loud alarm and frequent advance and retreat,
  834. p. 287, line 25The cause is asleep, the strongest throats are choked with their own blood,
  835. p. 289, line 3Some with oval countenances learn'd and calm,

  844. p. 293, line 28Bees, butterflies, the sparrow with its simple notes,
  845. p. 294, line 3Shimmer of waters with fish in them, the cerulean above,
  846. p. 294, line 7With musical clear call at sunrise, and again at sunset,
  847. p. 294, line 15To glide with thee O soul, o'er all, in all, as a ship o'er the waters;
  848. p. 294, line 17The lilac-scent, the bushes with dark green heart-shaped leaves,
  849. p. 294, line 20To grace the bush I love—to sing with the birds,

  852. p. 295, line 24Their wants provided for, hued in the sun and tinged for once with joy,
  853. p. 296, line 2Thy name an earth, with mountains, fields and tides.
  854. p. 297, line 3To draw and clinch your soul for once inseparably with mine,
  855. p. 297, line 19As the water follows the moon, silently, with fluid steps, anywhere around the globe.
  856. p. 298, line 7I specify you with joy O my comrade to salute you, and to salute those who are with you, before and since, and those to come also,
  857. p. 298, line 18You convicts in prison-cells, you sentenced assassins chain'd and handcuff'd with iron,
  858. p. 298, line 20Me ruthless and devilish as any, that my wrists are not chain'd with iron, or my ankles with iron?
  859. p. 299, line 7I walk with delinquents with passionate love,
  860. p. 299, line 21BE composed—be at ease with me—I am Walt Whitman, liberal and lusty as Nature,
  861. p. 300, line 1My girl I appoint with you an appointment, and I charge you that you make preparation to be worthy to meet me,
  862. p. 300, line 3Till then I salute you with a significant look that you do not forget me.
  863. p. 301, line 5Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water,
  864. p. 301, line 7Or talk by day with any one I love, or sleep in the bed at night with any one I love,
  865. p. 301, line 8Or sit at table at dinner with the rest,
  866. p. 301, line 15These with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,
  867. p. 301, line 19Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same,
  868. p. 301, line 20Every foot of the interior swarms with the same.
  869. p. 301, line 22The fishes that swim—the rocks—the motion of the waves—the ships with men in them,
  870. p. 301, line 25Withdrawn I join a group of children watching, I pause aside with them.
  871. p. 301, line 29With measur'd tread he turns rapidly, as he presses with light but firm hand,
  872. p. 302, line 4The sad sharp-chinn'd old man with worn clothes and broad shoulder-band of leather,
  873. p. 302, line 14Do you not see how it would serve to have such a body and soul that when you enter the crowd an atmosphere of desire and command enters with you, and every one is impress'd with your Personality?
  874. p. 303, line 9WHAT am I after all but a child, pleas'd with the sound of my own name? repeating it over and over;
  875. p. 303, line 15Who has not look'd forth from the windows the eyes for nothing, or whose brain held audience with messengers for nothing,
  876. p. 304, line 1Who believes not only in our globe with its sun and moon, but in other globes with their suns and moons,
  877. p. 305, line 10And that the moon spins round the earth and on with the earth, is equally wonderful,
  878. p. 305, line 11And that they balance themselves with the sun and stars is equally wonderful.
  879. p. 307, line 13The bullock's head tosses restless high in the air with raging eyes,
  880. p. 307, line 20See, the two with stars on their foreheads—see, the round bodies and broad backs,
  881. p. 308, line 23Thee coil'd in evil times my country, with craft and black dismay, with every meanness, treason thrust upon thee,
  882. p. 309, line 6From these your future song may rise with joyous trills,
  883. p. 309, line 16Sonnambula's innocent love, trios with Norma's anguish,
  884. p. 309, line 25WITH all thy gifts America,
  885. p. 309, line 27Power, wealth, extent, vouchsafed to thee—with these and like of these vouchsafed to thee,
  886. p. 310, line 6With finger rais'd he points to the prodigal pictures.
  887. p. 310, line 9With iron interlaced, composite, tied, many in one,
  888. p. 310, line 17You serenades of phantoms with instruments alert,
  889. p. 310, line 18Blending with Nature's rhythmus all the tongues of nations;
  890. p. 310, line 22You sounds from distant guns with galloping cavalry,
  891. p. 310, line 23Echoes of camps with all the different bugle-calls,
  892. p. 311, line 3With lips of love, and hearts of lovers fill'd to the brim with love,
  893. p. 311, line 13I see and hear old harpers with their harps at Welsh festivals,
  894. p. 311, line 23And with it every instrument in multitudes,
  895. p. 311, line 34And man and art with Nature fused again.
  896. p. 312, line 2(The Almighty leader now for once has signal'd with his wand.)
  897. p. 312, line 25Across the stage with pallor on her face, yet lurid passion,
  898. p. 313, line 20I hear dervishes monotonously chanting, interspers'd with frantic shouts, as they spin around turning always towards Mecca,
  899. p. 314, line 11Or floating in some high cathedral dim with gorgeous color'd windows,
  900. p. 314, line 24Fill me with all the voices of the universe,
  901. p. 314, line 25Endow me with their throbbings, Nature's also,
  902. p. 315, line 24The seas inlaid with eloquent gentle wires;
  903. p. 315, line 25Yet first to sound, and ever sound, the cry with thee O soul,
  904. p. 316, line 13You lofty and dazzling towers, pinnacled, red as roses, burnish'd with gold!
  905. p. 316, line 16You too with joy I sing.
  906. p. 318, line 7Cover'd all over with visible power and beauty,
  907. p. 318, line 11With inscrutable purpose, some hidden prophetic intention,
  908. p. 318, line 15Wandering, yearning, curious, with restless explorations,
  909. p. 318, line 16With questionings, baffled, formless, feverish, with never-happy hearts,
  910. p. 318, line 17With that sad incessant refrain, Wherefore unsatisfied soul? and Whither O mocking life?
  911. p. 320, line 6The world of 1492, with its awaken'd enterprise,
  912. p. 320, line 11With majestic limbs and pious beaming eyes,
  913. p. 320, line 12Spreading around with every look of thine a golden world,
  914. p. 320, line 13Enhuing it with gorgeous hues.
  915. p. 320, line 26And fills the earth with use and beauty.)
  916. p. 320, line 31O soul, repressless, I with thee and thou with me,
  917. p. 320, line 36Again with fair creation.
  918. p. 321, line 8With laugh and many a kiss,
  919. p. 321, line 12But with the mystery of God we dare not dally.
  920. p. 322, line 14As fill'd with friendship, love complete, the Elder Brother found,
  921. p. 322, line 24You, strew'd with the wrecks of skeletons, that, living, never reach'd you.
  922. p. 323, line 4Have we not darken'd and dazed ourselves with books long enough?
  923. p. 323, line 6Reckless O soul, exploring, I with thee, and thou with me,
  924. p. 323, line 16Sore, stiff with many toils, sicken'd and nigh to death,
  925. p. 323, line 23Breathe, bathe myself once more in Thee, commune with Thee,
  926. p. 324, line 3All my emprises have been fill'd with Thee,
  927. p. 324, line 23With ray of light, steady, ineffable, vouchsafed of Thee,
  928. p. 325, line 13Stepping with light feet, swiftly and noiselessly stepping and stopping,
  929. p. 325, line 14Bending with open eyes over the shut eyes of sleepers,
  930. p. 325, line 22The married couple sleep calmly in their bed, he with his palm on the hip of the wife, and she with her palm on the hip of the husband,
  931. p. 325, line 25And the mother sleeps with her little child carefully wrapt.
  932. p. 326, line 9I stand in the dark with drooping eyes by the worst-suffering and the most restless,
  933. p. 326, line 15I go from bedside to bedside, I sleep close with the other sleepers each in turn,
  934. p. 326, line 26To lift their cunning covers to signify me with stretch'd arms, and resume the way;
  935. p. 326, line 27Onward we move, a gay gang of blackguards! with mirth-shouting music and wild-flapping pennants of joy!
  936. p. 327, line 7He rises with me silently from the bed.
  937. p. 328, line 2His brown hair lies close and even to his head, he strikes out with courageous arms, he urges himself with his legs,
  938. p. 328, line 9The slapping eddies are spotted with his blood, they bear him away, they roll him, swing him, turn him,
  939. p. 328, line 13Confused, a past-reading, another, but with darkness yet.
  940. p. 328, line 17I cannot aid with my wringing fingers,
  941. p. 328, line 19I search with the crowd, not one of the company is wash'd to us alive,
  942. p. 329, line 7The chief encircles their necks with his arm and kisses them on the cheek,
  943. p. 329, line 10Of when she was a nearly grown girl living home with her parents on the old homestead.
  944. p. 330, line 2I am jealous and overwhelm'd with friendliness,
  945. p. 330, line 3And will go gallivant with the light and air myself.
  946. p. 330, line 5Autumn and winter are in the dreams, the farmer goes with his thrift,
  947. p. 330, line 10The poor Irishman lives in the simple house of his childhood with the well-known neighbors and faces,
  948. p. 330, line 18The actor and actress, those through with their parts and those waiting to commence,
  949. p. 331, line 23The father holds his grown or ungrown son in his arms with measureless love, and the son holds the father in his arms with measureless love,
  950. p. 332, line 2The breath of the boy goes with the breath of the man, friend is inarm'd by friend,
  951. p. 332, line 4The call of the slave is one with the master's call, and the master salutes the slave,
  952. p. 332, line 16I know not how I came of you and I know not where I go with you, but I know I came well and shall go well.
  953. p. 332, line 17I will stop only a time with the night, and rise betimes,
  954. p. 333, line 23The living look upon the corpse with their eyesight,
  955. p. 334, line 16The mound above is flatted with the spades—silence,
  956. p. 334, line 20Ready with life or death for a friend, fond of women, gambled, ate hearty, drank hearty,
  957. p. 335, line 7Do you enjoy yourself in the city? or engaged in business? or planning a nomination and election? or with your wife and family?
  958. p. 335, line 8Or with your mother and sisters? or in womanly housework? or the beautiful maternal cares?

  961. p. 338, line 6Nor face with blooming flesh, nor lips, nor eyes, are in that land.
  962. p. 338, line 23With at times a half-dimm'd sadden'd far-off star,
  963. p. 339, line 7As the Earth, the Father, the brown old Kronos, with laws,
  964. p. 339, line 8Aged beyond computation, yet ever new, ever with those mighty laws rolling,
  965. p. 339, line 14With gentle hand extended, the mightier God am I,
  966. p. 339, line 20Wending my way through the homes of men, rich or poor, with the kiss of affection,
  967. p. 339, line 21For I am affection, I am the cheer-bringing God, with hope and all-enclosing charity,
  968. p. 339, line 22With indulgent words as to children, with fresh and sane words, mine only,
  969. p. 340, line 4With sudra face and worn brow, black, but in the depths of my heart, proud as any,
  970. p. 340, line 6Morose, full of guile, full of reminiscences, brooding, with many wiles,
  971. p. 340, line 9Permanent here from my side, warlike, equal with any, real as any,
  972. p. 340, line 14Beyond Paradise, perfumed solely with mine own perfume,
  973. p. 341, line 4And now I am willing to disregard burial-places and dispense with them,
  974. p. 341, line 23But the one I thought was with me as now I walk by the shore, the one I loved that caress'd me,
  975. p. 343, line 3A tenor, strong, ascending with power and health, with glad notes of daybreak I hear,
  976. p. 343, line 6The triumphant tutti, the funeral wailings with sweet flutes and violins, all these I fill myself with,
  977. p. 343, line 8I listen to the different voices winding in and out, striving, contending with fiery vehemence to excel each other in emotion;
  978. p. 344, line 19You do not see the medicines, you do not mind the weeping friends, I am with you,
  979. p. 345, line 8And now touch'd with the lives of other globes arrived as far along as those of the earth,
  980. p. 345, line 14AS I sit with others at a great feast, suddenly while the music is playing,
  981. p. 345, line 16Of certain ships, how they sail from port with flying streamers and wafted kisses, and that is the last of them,

  983. p. 346, line 20THOU Mother with thy equal brood,
  984. p. 347, line 7As Life and Nature are not great with reference to the present only,
  985. p. 347, line 18With open airs of Virginia or Georgia or Tennessee, or from Texas uplands, or Florida's glades,
  986. p. 347, line 20With presentment of Yellowstone's scenes, or Yosemite,
  987. p. 347, line 26By thee fact to be justified, blended with thought,
  988. p. 347, line 27Thought of man justified, blended with God,
  989. p. 348, line 6To limn with absolute faith the mighty living present.
  990. p. 348, line 11Its poems, churches, arts, unwitting to themselves, destined with reference to thee;

  992. p. 348, line 20With all their ancient struggles, martyrs, heroes, epics, wars, thou bear'st the other continents,
  993. p. 348, line 22Steer then with good strong hand and wary eye O helmsman, thou carriest great companions,
  994. p. 348, line 23Venerable priestly Asia sails this day with thee,
  995. p. 348, line 24And royal feudal Europe sails with thee.
  996. p. 351, line 3Consumption of the worst, moral consumption, shall rouge thy face with hectic,
  997. p. 351, line 8Equable, natural, mystical Union thou, (the mortal with immortal blent,)
  998. p. 351, line 20TWO boats with nets lying off the sea-beach, quite still,
  999. p. 352, line 2Flooding with sheeny light the gray beach sand,
  1000. p. 352, line 3The sibilant near sea with vistas far and foam,
  1001. p. 352, line 10(Thou canst not with thy dumbness me deceive,
  1002. p. 352, line 15Thou that with fructifying heat and light,
  1003. p. 352, line 21Shed, shed thyself on mine and me, with but a fleeting ray out of thy million millions,
  1004. p. 353, line 15I see them and complain not, and am content with all.
  1005. p. 353, line 16Do you suppose I could be content with all if I thought them their own finalè?
  1006. p. 354, line 6And this is some murderer's knife with a half-pull'd scabbard.
  1007. p. 354, line 9Features of my equals would you trick me with your creas'd and cadaverous march?
  1008. p. 354, line 13Splay and twist as you like, poke with the tangling fores of fishes or rats,

  1013. p. 357, line 19Love, that is crimson, sumptuous, sick with perfume,
  1014. p. 358, line 22Riotous laughing bacchanals fill'd with joy!
  1015. p. 358, line 24The ocean fill'd with joy—the atmosphere all joy!
  1016. p. 359, line 5Thy long, pale, floating vapor-pennants, tinged with delicate purple,
  1017. p. 359, line 12With storm and buffeting gusts of wind and falling snow,
  1018. p. 359, line 16Roll through my chant with all thy lawless music, thy swinging lamps at night,
  1019. p. 360, line 1O pensive, far away wandering, I return with my soul to haunt their banks again,
  1020. p. 360, line 8The cactus guarded with thorns, the laurel-tree with large white flowers,
  1021. p. 360, line 9The range afar, the richness and barrenness, the old woods charged with mistletoe and trailing moss,
  1022. p. 360, line 11O the strange fascination of these half-known half-impassable swamps, infested by reptiles, resounding with the bellow of the alligator, the sad noises of the night-owl and the wild-cat, and the whirr of the rattlesnake,
  1023. p. 360, line 14A Kentucky corn-field, the tall, graceful, long-leav'd corn, slender, flapping, bright green, with tassels, with beautiful ears each well-sheath'd in its husk;
  1024. p. 361, line 3Rich, hemm'd thick all around with sailships and steamships, an island sixteen miles long, solid-founded,
  1025. p. 361, line 12The winter snows, the sleigh-bells, the broken ice in the river, passing along up or down with the flood-tide or ebb-tide,
  1026. p. 361, line 24I feel in myself that I represent falsehoods equally with the rest,
  1027. p. 363, line 26And who has made hymns fit for the earth? for I am mad with devouring ecstasy to make joyous hymns for the whole earth.
  1028. p. 364, line 3(For what is my life or any man's life but a conflict with foes, the old, the incessant war?)
  1029. p. 364, line 4You degradations, you tussle with passions and appetites,
  1030. p. 364, line 14Of the President with pale face asking secretly to himself, What will the people say at last?
  1031. p. 366, line 14Lave subtly with your waters every line Potomac!
  1032. p. 366, line 24In the midst of their little circle, with their slaughter'd horses for breastworks,
  1033. p. 367, line 8I erewhile saw, with erect head, pressing ever in front, bearing a bright sword in thy hand,
  1034. p. 367, line 17Of the dead on their backs with arms extended wide,
  1035. p. 367, line 24Where through the carnage I moved with a callous composure, or away from the fallen,
  1036. p. 367, line 28Long yet your road, fateful flag—long yet your road, and lined with bloody death,
  1037. p. 368, line 2All its ships and shores I see interwoven with your threads greedy banner;
  1038. p. 368, line 4O hasten flag of man—O with sure and steady step, passing highest flags of kings,
  1039. p. 368, line 12Who walk'd with kings with even pace the round world's promenade;
  1040. p. 368, line 13But that in foreign lands, in all thy walks with kings,
  1041. p. 368, line 16Invisibly with thee walking with kings with even pace the round world's promenade,
  1042. p. 369, line 11The vast factories with their foremen and workmen,
  1043. p. 370, line 13I see that force advancing with irresistible power on the world's stage,
  1044. p. 370, line 15I see Freedom, completely arm'd and victorious and very haughty, with Law on one side and Peace on the other,
  1045. p. 371, line 3With the steamship, the electric telegraph, the newspaper, the wholesale engines of war,
  1046. p. 371, line 4With these and the world-spreading factories he interlinks all geography, all lands;
  1047. p. 372, line 1With sabres drawn and glistening, and carbines by their thighs, (ah my brave horsemen!
  1048. p. 372, line 3With all the perils were yours.)
  1049. p. 372, line 11Faces so pale with wondrous eyes, very dear, gather closer yet,
  1050. p. 372, line 17But sweet, ah sweet, are the dead with their silent eyes.
  1051. p. 372, line 23Shroud them, embalm them, cover them all over with tender pride.
  1052. p. 372, line 26O love, solve all, fructify all with the last chemistry.
  1053. p. 373, line 9How the whirl, the contest, the wrestle of evil with good, the sounding and resounding, keep on and on,
  1054. p. 373, line 14And how all people, sights, combinations, the democratic masses too, serve—and how every fact, and war itself, with all its horrors, serves,
  1055. p. 375, line 20How the trees rise and stand up, with strong trunks, with branches and leaves!
  1056. p. 376, line 4Wherever I have been I have charged myself with contentment and triumph.
  1057. p. 376, line 8I praise with electric voice,
  1058. p. 377, line 1With nothing to show to devise from its idle years,
  1059. p. 377, line 4And little souvenirs of camps and soldiers, with my love,
  1060. p. 377, line 9As she call'd to her earth with mournful voice while she stalk'd,
  1061. p. 378, line 8With a mystic army, (is it too order'd forward? is it too only halt ing awhile,
  1062. p. 379, line 14With you O soul.
  1063. p. 380, line 13I would raise my voice jocund and strong with reference to consummations.
  1064. p. 380, line 22I have offer'd my style to every one, I have journey'd with confident step;

  1070. p. 387, line 6Dull, parrot-like and old, with crack'd voice harping, screeching?
  1071. p. 387, line 19Perennial with the Earth, with Freedom, Law and Love,
  1072. p. 388, line 3The past entire, with all its heroes, histories, arts, experiments,
  1073. p. 388, line 13Apple orchards, the trees all cover'd with blossoms;
  1074. p. 388, line 17The aspiring lilac bushes with profuse purple or white flowers.
  1075. p. 389, line 4Again 'tis just at morning—a heavy haze contends with daybreak,
  1076. p. 389, line 7Looms in the mist, with brow elate and governing hand.
  1077. p. 389, line 10Homer with all his wars and warriors—Hector, Achilles, Ajax,
  1078. p. 389, line 17You tides with ceaseless swell! you power that does this work!
  1079. p. 389, line 23Holding the universe with all its parts as one—as sailing in a ship?
  1080. p. 390, line 3With many a half-caught voice sent up from the eddies,
  1081. p. 390, line 7Poets unnamed—artists greatest of any, with cherish'd lost designs,
  1082. p. 390, line 21Long it holds at the high, with bosom broad outswelling,
  1083. p. 390, line 24Freighted with human lives, gaily the outward bound, gaily the inward bound,
  1084. p. 391, line 14Nor you, Yosemite—nor Yellowstone, with all its spasmic geyser-loops ascending to the skies, appearing and disappearing,
  1085. p. 392, line 1With husky-haughty lips, O sea!
  1086. p. 392, line 6Thy ample, smiling face, dash'd with the sparkling dimples of the sun,
  1087. p. 392, line 29Victor's and vanquish'd—Lincoln's and Lee's—now thou with them,
  1088. p. 393, line 8As some old tree, or rock or cliff, thrill'd with its soul,
  1089. p. 393, line 10In hunting-shirt of film, arm'd with the rifle, a half-ironical smile curving its phantom lips,
  1090. p. 393, line 17Old Asia's there with venerable smile, seated amid her ruins;
  1091. p. 394, line 9These with gay heart I also sing.
  1092. p. 395, line 3(Had been a sailor all his life—was nearly 90—lived with his married grandchild, Jenny;
  1093. p. 395, line 4House on a hill, with view of bay at hand, and distant cape, and stretch to open sea;)
  1094. p. 395, line 15With Spanish hat and plumes, and gait inimitable,
  1095. p. 395, line 25From these, for these, with these, a hurried line, dead tenor,
  1096. p. 396, line 10With grass and flowers and summer fruits and corn.
  1097. p. 396, line 14Yonnondio—I see, far in the west or north, a limitless ravine, with plains and mountains dark,
  1098. p. 397, line 10Man's physiology complete, from top to toe, I sing. Not physiognomy alone, nor brain alone, is worthy for the Muse;—I say the Form complete is worthier far. The Female equally with the Male, I sing.
  1099. p. 397, line 12My Days I sing, and the Lands—with interstice I knew of hapless War.
  1100. p. 397, line 17Old soldiers from campaigns, with all their wounds, defeats and scars;
  1101. p. 399, line 10Reck'd or unreck'd. duly with love returns.)
  1102. p. 399, line 19With these the robin, lark and thrush, singing their songs—the flitting bluebird;
  1103. p. 400, line 17Away with your life of peace!—your joys of peace!
  1104. p. 400, line 19Have you learn'd lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you?
  1105. p. 400, line 20Have you not learn'd great lessons from those who reject you, and brace themselves against you? or who treat you with contempt, or dispute the passage with you?
  1106. p. 401, line 1Down on the ancient wharf, the sand, I sit, with a new-comer chatting:
  1107. p. 401, line 9I see the sailor kit, the canvas bag, the great box bound with brass,
  1108. p. 402, line 12To-day, with bending head and eyes, thou, too, Columbia,
  1109. p. 402, line 19With rosy tinge reddening the land he'd served,
  1110. p. 403, line 8From ups and downs—with intervals—from elder years, mid-age, or youth,)
  1111. p. 403, line 13"Thou Mother with thy Equal Brood," and many, many more unspecified,
  1112. p. 404, line 11Good-bye and Good-bye with emotional lips repeating,
