Be composed
-be at ease with me -I am Walt Whitman, liberal and
lusty as Nature,
Not till the sun excludes you do I
exclude you,
Not till the waters refuse to glisten
for you and the leaves to rustle for
you, do my
words refuse to glisten and rustle for you.
My
girl I appoint with you an appointment, and I charge you
that you make
preparation to be worthy to meet me,
And I charge you that you be patient and perfect till I
come.
Till then I salute you with a significant
look that you do not forget me.
