Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 5. Calamus. 34. To a Western Boy

Many things to absorb I teach to help you become eleve of mine;
Yet if blood like mine circle not in your veins,
If you be not silently selected by lovers and do not silently select lovers,
Of what use is it that you seek to become eleve of mine?

1. Leaves of Grass. 33. Songs of Parting. 1. As the Time Draws Nigh
2. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 28. Old Salt Kossabone
3. Leaves of Grass. 35. Good-Bye My Fancy. 18. Sounds of the Winter
4. Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 21. Visor'd
5. Leaves of Grass. 30. Whispers of Heavenly Death. 16. The Last Invocation
