Poem by Walt Whitman


Leaves of Grass. 30. Whispers of Heavenly Death. 17. As I Watch the Ploughman Ploughing


As I watch'd the ploughman ploughing,
Or the sower sowing in the fields, or the harvester harvesting,
I saw there too, O life and death, your analogies;
(Life, life is the tillage, and Death is the harvest according.)
