by Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892)
Shine! Shine! Shine!
Language: English
Shine! Shine! Shine! Pour down your warmth, great sun! While we bask -- we two together. Two together! Winds blow South or winds blow North, Day come white, or night come black, Home or rivers and mountains from home, Singing all [the]1 time, minding no time, While we two keep together.
