by Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892)
We two together See original
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 ... time, minding no time,
While we two keep together.
