THE AGE OF REALISM.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892).

Preface to the 1885 Edition of Leaves of Grass. FROM Inscriptions. One's-Self I Sing. When I read the book.Song of Myself. FROM Children of Adam. From pent-up aching rivers. Out of the rolling ocean the crowd. Once I pass'd through a populous city. Facing west from California's shores. FROM Calamus. In paths untrodden. Scented herbage of my breast. For You O Democracy. I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing. I hear it was charged against me. Crossing Brooklyn Ferry. FROM Sea-Drift. Out of the cradle endlessly rocking. As I ebb'd with the ocean of life. FROM By the Roadside. When I heard the learn'd astronomer. The Dalliance of the Eagles. FROM Drum-Taps. Beat! Beat! Drums! Cavalry Crossing a Ford. Bivouac on a Mountain Side. Vigil strange I kept on the field one night. A march in the ranks hard-prest, and the road unknown. A sight in camp in the daybreak gray and dim. The Wound-Dresser. Give me the splendid silent sun. FROM Memories of President Lincoln. When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd. FROM Autumn Rivulets. There was a child went forth. Passage to India. The Sleepers. FROM Whispers of Heavenly Death. Chanting the square deific. A noiseless patient spider. FROM Noon to Starry Night. To a Locomotive in Winter. FROM Goody-Bye My Fancy. L. of G.'s Purport. FROM Democratic Vistas.
