Shall feel the harrow's grip, nor vine the hook;
The sturdy

Nor wool with varying colours learn to lie;
But in the meadows shall the ram himself,
Now with soft flush of purple, now with tint
Of yellow saffron, teach his fleece to shine.

Of seeing you quite naked
Nudity pure O ready finery
Breasts O my heart
Fertile Eyes
Fertile Eyes
No one can know me more
More than you know me
Your eyes in which we sleep
The two of them
Have cast a spell on my male orbs
Greater than worldly nights
Your eyes where I voyage
Have given the road-signs

In your eyes those that show us
Our infinite solitude
Is no more than they think exists

For the eye that becomes landscape or face
And sleep returns it the heaven of its colour
For all that night drank

For the open window for a bare forehead

Every caress every trust survives.

bright with drops of rain,
Whistled the waggoner with merry note,
The cock far off sounded his clarion throat;
But town, or farm, or hamlet, none they viewed, 330
Only were told there stood a lonely cot
A long mile thence.

XLI
"If of all human sins of deepest dye
Be fell ingratitude; if doomed to smart
For this, the fairest angel of the sky
Was banished into foul and darksome part;
If mighty sins for mighty vengeance cry,
Where due
atonement
cleanses not the heart;
Beware lest thou beneath such vengeance groan,
Ingrate!

Whitman |

Thy love is better than high birth to me,
Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' costs,
Of more delight than hawks and horses be;
And having thee, of all men's pride I boast:
Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take
All this away, and me most
wretchcd
make.

To-day, when friends approach, and every hour
Brings book, or
starbright
scroll of genius,
The little cup will hold not a bead more,
And all the costly liquor runs to waste;
Nor gives the jealous lord one diamond drop
So to be husbanded for poorer days.

Canst thou expect, that should he even prove
Stronger
than ye, and bend the massy bow,
He will conduct me hence to his own home,
And make me his own bride?
