Song of the Broad-Axe by Walt Whitman — Read

1. Weapon, shapely, naked, wan; / Head from the mother's bowels drawn! / Wooded flesh and metal bone! limb only one, and lip only one! / Grey-blue leaf by red-heat grown! helve produced from a little seed sown! / Resting the grass amid and upon, / To be leaned, and to lean on.

Strong shapes, and attributes of strong shapes -- masculine trades, sights / and sounds; / Long varied train of an emblem, dabs of music; / Fingers of the organist skipping staccato over the keys of the great organ.
