Analysis of As Adam, Early In The Morning
Walt Whitman 1819 (West Hills) – 1892 (Camden)
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.
