Song of Myself

...ult-finder’s or rejecter’s gait; 
I moisten the roots of all that has grown. 

Did you fear some scrofula out of the unflagging pregnancy? 
Did you guess the celestial laws are yet to be work’d over and rectified? 

I find one side a balance, and the antipodal side a balance;

With eager and unflagging pen
 No drudgery of desk I shirk,
And preach to all retiring men
 The gospel of unceasing work.

And yet I do not sadly grieve
 Such squandering of golden days;
