Poem by Walt Whitman


Leaves of Grass. 32. From Noon to Starry Night. 22. A Clear Midnight


This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done,
Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou
      lovest best,
Night, sleep, death and the stars.
