From
Leaves of Grass
, by
Walt Whitman
:
Root
s and leaves themselves alone are these,
Scent
s brought to men and women from the wild woods and pond-side,
Breast-
sorrel
and pinks of love, fingers that wind around tighter than vines,
Gushes from the throats of birds hid in the foliage of trees as the sun is risen,
Breezes of land and love set from living shores to you on the living sea, to you O
sailor
s!
Frost-mellow'd berries and
Third-month
twigs offer'd fresh to
young persons
wandering out in the fields when the winter breaks up,
Love-buds put before you and within you whoever you are,
Buds to be unfolded on the old terms,
If you bring the warmth of the sun to them they will open and bring form, color,
perfume
, to you,
If you become the
aliment
and the wet they will become flowers, fruits, tall branches and
tree
s.
