“One’s-Self I Sing” by Walt Whitman [w/ Audio]

One's-Self I sing, a simple separate person,
Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-masse.

Of physiology from top to toe I sing,
Not physiognomy alone nor brain alone is
worthy for the Muse, I say the Form complete
is worthier far,
The Female equally with the Male I sing.

Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power,
Cheerful, for freest action form'd under the laws
divine,
The Modern Man I sing.
