Poem by Walt Whitman


Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 16. After the Dazzle of Day


After the dazzle of day is gone,
Only the dark, dark night shows to my eyes the stars;
After the clangor of organ majestic, or chorus, or perfect band,
Silent, athwart my soul, moves the symphony true.



Walt Whitman
