A poem by Walt Whitman

Beginning My Studies

________________________________________________
Title:     Beginning My Studies
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

Beginning my studies the first step pleas'd me so much,
The mere fact consciousness, these forms, the power of motion,
The least insect or animal, the senses, eyesight, love,
The first step I say awed me and pleas'd me so much,
I have hardly gone and hardly wish'd to go any farther,
But stop and loiter all the time to sing it in ecstatic songs.







[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: Beginning My Studies
