From the Book - First edition.
To a locomotive in Winter
I think I could turn and live with animals
The world below the brine
Did you read in the seabooks ...
Come up from the fields father
The artilleryman's vision
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd
A noiseless patient spider
The dalliance of the eagles
I tramp a perpetual journey
The spotted hawk swoops by.
Walt Whitman: I tramp a perpetual journey
To a locomotive in winter
I think I could turn and live with animals
At sea: Aboard at a ship's helm
Did you read in the seabooks...
At war: Come up from the fields father
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd
Sky and cosmos: Noiseless patient spider
When I heard the learn'd astronomer
I tramp a perpetual journey
Walt Whitman: I tramp a perpetual journey
To a locomotive in winter
I think I could turn and live with animals
At sea: Aboard at a ship's helm
Did you read in the seabooks ...
At war: Come up from the fields father
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd
Sky and cosmos: Noiseless patient spider
When I heard the learn'd astronomer
I tramp a perpetual journey
