Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 17. The Runner

On a flat road runs the well-train'd runner,
He is lean and sinewy with muscular legs,
He is thinly clothed, he leans forward as he runs,
With lightly closed fists and arms partially rais'd.

1. Leaves of Grass. 24. Autumn Rivulets. 13. Out from Behind This Mask [To Confront a Portrait]
2. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. Fancies at Navesink. 5. And Yet Not You Alone
3. Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 23. Gliding O'er all
4. Leaves of Grass. 30. Whispers of Heavenly Death. 7. Assurances
5. Leaves of Grass. 30. Whispers of Heavenly Death. 5. Yet, Yet, Ye Downcast Hours
