Excerpts from Leaves of Grass--Song of Myself--by Walt Whitman

 

I Hear America Singing by Walt Whitman

 

Emily Dickinson Rap, but first her poem:

324

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church –

I keep it, staying at Home –

With a Bobolink for a Chorister –

And an Orchard, for a Dome –

 

Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice –

I just wear my Wings –

And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,

Our little Sexton – sings.

 

God preaches, a noted Clergyman –

And the sermon is never long,

So instead of getting to Heaven, at last –

I’m going, all along.
