O fils!<br> O brood continental!<br> O flowers of the prairies!<br> O space boundless! O hum of mighty products!<br> O you teeming cities! O so invincible, turbulent, proud!<br> O race of the future! O women!<br> O fathers! O you men of passion and the storm!<br> O native power only! O beauty!<br> O yourself! O God! O divine average!<br> O you bearded roughs! O bards! O all those slumberers! 10<br> O arouse! the dawn bird's throat sounds shrill! Do you not hear the<br> cock crowing?<br> O, as I walk'd the beach, I heard the mournful notes foreboding a<br> tempest--the low, oft-repeated shriek of the diver, the long-<br> lived loon;<br> O I heard, and yet hear, angry thunder;--O you sailors! O ships! make<br> quick preparation!<br> O from his masterful sweep, the warning cry of the eagle!<br> (Give way there, all! It is useless! Give up your spoils;)<br> O sarcasms! Propositions! (O if the whole world should prove indeed a<br> sham, a sell!)<br> O I believe there is nothing real but America and freedom!<br> O to sternly reject all except Democracy!<br> O imperator! O who dare confront you and me?<br> O to promulgate our own! O to build for that which builds for<br> mankind!    20<br> O feuillage! O North! O the slope drained by the Mexican sea!<br> O all, all inseparable--ages, ages, ages!<br> O a curse on him that would dissever this Union for any reason<br> whatever!<br> O climates, labors! O good and evil! O death!<br> O you strong with iron and wood! O Personality!<br> O the village or place which has the greatest man or woman! even if<br> it be only a few ragged huts;<br> O the city where women walk in public processions in the streets, the<br> same as the men;<br> O a wan and terrible emblem, by me adopted!<br> O shapes arising! shapes of the future centuries!<br> O muscle and pluck forever for me!   30<br> O workmen and workwomen forever for me!<br> O farmers and sailors! O drivers of horses forever for me!<br> O I will make the new bardic list of trades and tools!<br> O you coarse and wilful! I love you!<br> O South! O longings for my dear home! O soft and sunny airs!<br> O pensive! O I must return where the palm grows and the mocking-bird<br> sings, or else I die!<br> O equality! O organic compacts! I am come to be your born poet!<br> O whirl, contest, sounding and resounding! I am your poet, because I<br> am part of you;<br> O days by-gone! Enthusiasts! Antecedents!<br> O vast preparations for These States! O years!  40<br> O what is now being sent forward thousands of years to come!<br> O mediums! O to teach! to convey the invisible faith!<br> To promulge real things! to journey through all The States!<br> O creation! O to-day! O laws! O unmitigated adoration!<br> O for mightier broods of orators, artists, and singers!<br> O for native songs! carpenter's, boatman's, ploughman's songs!<br> shoemaker's songs!<br> O haughtiest growth of time! O free and extatic!<br> O what I, here, preparing, warble for!<br> O you hastening light! O the sun of the world will ascend, dazzling,<br> and take his height--and you too will ascend;<br> O so amazing and so broad! up there resplendent, darting and<br> burning;    50<br> O prophetic! O vision staggered with weight of light! with pouring<br> glories!<br> O copious! O hitherto unequalled!<br> O Libertad! O compact! O union impossible to dissever!<br> O my Soul! O lips becoming tremulous, powerless!<br> O centuries, centuries yet ahead!<br> O voices of greater orators! I pause--I listen for you<br> O you States! Cities! defiant of all outside authority! I spring at<br> once into your arms! you I most love!<br> O you grand Presidentiads! I wait for you!<br> New history! New heroes! I project you!<br> Visions of poets! only you really last! O sweep on! sweep on! 60<br> O Death! O you striding there! O I cannot yet!<br> O heights! O infinitely too swift and dizzy yet!<br> O purged lumine! you threaten me more than I can stand!<br> O present! I return while yet I may to you!<br> O poets to come, I depend upon you!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Walt+Whitman">Walt Whitman</a><div class=q>
