Sighs And Groans

 O do not use me 

After my sins! look not on my dessert, 

But on your glory! Then you will reform 

And not refuse me: for you only art 

The mighty God, but I a silly worm; 

O do not bruise me! 



O do not urge me! 

For what account can your ill steward make? 

I have abused your...Read more of this...

Houses -- so the Wise Men tell me

 "Houses" -- so the Wise Men tell me --
"Mansions"! Mansions must be warm!
Mansions cannot let the tears in,
Mansions must exclude the storm!

"Many Mansions," by "his Father,"
I don't know him; snugly built!
Could the Children find the way there --
Some, would even trudge tonight!...Read more of this...

Sonnet XI

SONNET XI. Se lamentar augelli, o Verdi fronde. SHE IS EVER PRESENT TO HIM.  If the lorn bird complain, or rustling sweepSoft summer airs o'er foliage waving slow,Or the hoarse brook come murmuring down the steep,Where on the enamell'd bank I sit belowWith thoughts of love that bid my numbers flow;Read more of this...

To the Rev. Dr. Thomas Amory

And Virtue shines in all her native light,
In vain would Vice her works in night conceal,

I am exact and merciless, but I love you—There is no escape for you. 

Softly I lay my right hand upon you—you just feel it, 
I do not argue—I bend my head close,...Read more of this...

A Garden Written after the Civil Wars

 SEE how the flowers, as at parade, 
Under their colours stand display'd: 
Each regiment in order grows, 
That of the tulip, pink, and rose. 
But when the vigilant patrol 
Of stars walks round about the pole, 
Their leaves, that to the stalks are curl'd, 
Seem to their staves the ensigns furl'd. 
Then in some flower's beloved hut 
Each bee,...Read more of this...

To a Common Prostitute

 BE composed—be at ease with me—I am Walt Whitman, liberal and lusty as Nature; 
Not till the sun excludes you, do I exclude you; 
Not till the waters refuse to glisten for you, and the leaves to rustle for you, do my
 words
 refuse
 to glisten and rustle for you. 

My girl, I appoint with you an appointment—and I...Read more of this...
