As Adam, Early in the Morning.

by Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

AS Adam, early in the morning,
Walking forth from the bower, refresh’d with sleep;
Behold me where I pass—hear my voice—approach,
Touch me—touch the palm of your hand to my Body as I pass;
Be not afraid of my Body. 5

    Night In State Street
    by Harriet Monroe
    Art thou he?- The seer and sage, the hero and lover-yea, The man of men, then away from the haughty day Come with me! Ho-ho! to the night- The spangled night that would the noon outstare.
