Walt Whitman Leaves of Grass Stanza 52 The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me—he complains of my gab and my loitering. | |
I too am not a bit tamed—I too am untranslatable; | |
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world. | 1330 |
The last scud of day holds back for me; | |
It flings my likeness after the rest, and true as any, on the shadow’d wilds; | |
It coaxes me to the vapor and the dusk. | |
I depart as air—I shake my white locks at the runaway sun; | |
I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags. | 1335 |
I bequeathe myself to the dirt, to grow from the grass I love; | |
If you want me again, look for me under your boot-soles. | |
You will hardly know who I am, or what I mean; | |
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, | |
And filter and fibre your blood. | 1340 |
Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged; | |
Missing me one place, search another; | |
I stop somewhere, waiting for you. |
