REVERSALS

Let that which stood in front go behind,

Let that which was behind advance to the front,

Let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions. Let the old propositions be postponed,

Let a man seek pleasure everywhere except in himself, Let a woman seek happiness everywhere except in herself.

[blocks in formation]

Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road.....

125

After the sea-ship, after the whistling winds..
Ages and ages returning at intervals....

226

93

[blocks in formation]

A line in long array where they wind betwixt green

islands......

256

All you are doing and saying is to America dangled
mirages.......

234

Always our old feuillage!.....

146

A march in the ranks hard-prest, and the road

unknown.....

260

A mask, a perpetual natural disguiser of herself..
Among the men and women the multitude.....

237

113

And now, gentlemen....

103

An old man bending I come among new faces..

263

Arm'd year-year of the struggle....

As Adam early in the morning..

A promise to California....

Are you the new person drawn toward me?.

As I ebb'd with the ocean of life....

A sight in camp in the day break grey and dim.....
As I lay with my head in your lap, camerado..

[blocks in formation]

As I pondered in silence...

1

A song for occupations!.

182

A song of the rolling earth, and of words according...........
As toilsome I wander'd Virginia's woods....

189

262

A thousand perfect men and women appear....
A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing

238

is lacking......

88

305

Behold this swarthy face, these grey eyes......

Beat! beat! drums!-blow bugles! blow!.......... 242
Beginning my studies the first step pleas'd me so much

By blue Ontario's shore.....

By the bivouac's fitful flame..

Come up from the fields, father, here's a letter from

[blocks in formation]

Fast-anchor'd eternal O Love! O woman I love!...

113

First O songs for a prelude......

239

Flood-tide below me! I see you face to face...

135

For him I sing..

6

Forms, qualities, lives, humanity, language, thoughts
From Paumanok starting I fly like a bird.....
From pent-up aching rivers..

232

242

79

Full of life now, compact, visible....

114

Give me the splendid silent sun with all his beams

[blocks in formation]

Here the frailest leaves of me and yet my strongest

lasting.....

110

Hold it up sternly-see this it sends back (who is

it? is it you?)...

231

How solemn as one by one..

273

Jew they are provided for upon the earth (appearing

at intervals).

Hush'd be the camps to-day...

287

94

I am he that aches with amorous love....

I celebrate myself, and sing myself...

I dream'd in a dream I saw a city invincible to the
attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth..

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear....
I heard that you ask'd for something to prove this
puzzle the New World.......

I heard you solemn-sweet pipes of the organ as last
Sunday morn I pass'd the church.....

95

In paths untrodden...

I hear it was charged against me that I sought to
destroy institutions....

I met a seer.....

In cabin'd ships at sea.

I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing.

I saw old General at bay.......

I see before me now a travelling army halting.....
I see the sleeping babe nestling the breast of its
mother....

I see in you the estuary that enlarges and spreads
itself grandly as it pours in the great sea.....

I sing the body electric.....

81

I sit and look upon all the sorrows of the world

and upon all oppression and shame..

234

Let that which stood in front go behind..

303

Locations and times-what is it in me that meets

them all.....

238

Long, too long, America....

266

Look down, fair moon, and bathe this scene.....

[blocks in formation]

Many things to absorb I teach to help you become

eleve of mine.......

Me imperturbe, standing at ease in Nature......
