Analysis of I Will Take An Egg Out Of The Robin's Nest
Walt Whitman 1819 (West Hills) – 1892 (Camden)
I WILL take an egg out of the robin's nest in the orchard,
I will take a branch of gooseberries from the old bush in the garden,
and go and preach to the world;
You shall see I will not meet a single heretic or scorner,
You shall see how I stump clergymen, and confound them,
You shall see me showing a scarlet tomato, and a white pebble from
the beach.
