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.
