My Canary Bird

Title:     My Canary Bird
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

Did we count great, O soul, to penetrate the themes of mighty books,
Absorbing deep and full from thoughts, plays, speculations?
But now from thee to me, caged bird, to feel thy joyous warble,
Filling the air, the lonesome room, the long forenoon,
Is it not just as great, O soul?

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: My Canary Bird
