You Lingering Sparse Leaves Of Me

Title:     You Lingering Sparse Leaves Of Me
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

You lingering sparse leaves of me on winter-nearing boughs,
And I some well-shorn tree of field or orchard-row;
You tokens diminute and lorn--(not now the flush of May, or July clover-bloom--no grain of August now;)
You pallid banner-staves--you pennants valueless--you overstay'd of time,
Yet my soul-dearest leaves confirming all the rest,
The faithfulest--hardiest--last.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: You Lingering Sparse Leaves Of Me
