Poems : There was a child went forth
From Song of myself
A song of occupations
the sleepers
Crossing Brooklyn Ferry
Out of the cradle endlessly rocking
As I ebb'd with the ocean of life
I sing the body electric
Spontaneous me
As Adam early in the morning
In paths untrodden
We two, how long were we fool'd
Native moments
These I singing in Spring
A glimpse
I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing
Scented herbage of my breast
Of the terrible doubt of appearances
A march in the ranks hard-prest, and the road unknown
The wound-dresser
Reconciliation
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd
When I heard the learn'd astronomer
A noiseless patient spider
Sparkles from the wheel
The dalliance of the eagles
A clear midnight
