To A Common Prostitute

Title:     To A Common Prostitute
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

Be composed--be at ease with me--I am Walt Whitman, liberal and lusty as Nature,

Not till the sun excludes you do I exclude you,

Not till the waters refuse to glisten for you and the leaves to

rustle for you, do my words refuse to glisten and rustle for you.

My girl I appoint with you an appointment, and I charge you that you make preparation to be worthy to meet me,

And I charge you that you be patient and perfect till I come.

Till then I salute you with a significant look that you do not forget me.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: To A Common Prostitute
