Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was born on Long Island and educated in Brooklyn, New York. He served as a printer's devil, journeyman compositor, itinerant schoolteacher, editor, and unofficial nurse to Northern and Southern soldiers.

Samenvatting

1861

ARMED year! year of the struggle!

No dainty rhymes or sentimental love verses for you, terrible year!

Not you as some pale poet ling, seated at a desk, lisping cadenzas

piano;

But as a strong man, erect, clothed in blue clothes, advancing, carrying a rifle on your shoulder,

With well-gristled body and sun burnt face and hands–with a knife in the belt at your side,

As I heard you shouting loud–your sonorous voice ringing across the continent;

Your masculine voice, O year, as rising amid the great cities,

Amid the men of Manhattan I saw you, as one of the workmen, the dwellers in Manhattan;

Or with large steps crossing the prairies out of Illinois and Indiana,

Rapidly crossing the West with springy gait, and descending the Alleghenies;

Or down from the great lakes, or in Pennsylvania, or on deck along the Ohio river;

Or southward along the Tennessee or Cumberland rivers, or at Chattanooga on the mountain top,

Saw I your gait and saw I your sinewy limbs, clothed in blue, bearing weapons, robust year;

Heard your determinate voice, launched forth again and again;

Year that suddenly sang by the mouths of the playground cannon, I repeat you, hurrying, crashing, sad, distracted year.

Walt Whitman
