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?



Walt Whitman
