Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 18. Out of May's Shows Selected

Apple orchards, the trees all cover'd with blossoms;
Wheat fields carpeted far and near in vital emerald green;
The eternal, exhaustless freshness of each early morning;
The yellow, golden, transparent haze of the warm afternoon sun;
The aspiring lilac bushes with profuse purple or white flowers.

1. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 28. Old Salt Kossabone
2. Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 21. Visor'd
3. Leaves of Grass. 33. Songs of Parting. 1. As the Time Draws Nigh
4. Leaves of Grass. 30. Whispers of Heavenly Death. 16. The Last Invocation
5. Leaves of Grass. 35. Good-Bye My Fancy. 29. Grand Is the Seen
