One's‑Self I sing

Language: English
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.
