ONE'S-SELF I SING.
1
One's-Self I sing—a simple, separate Person;Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-masse.
2
Of Physiology from top to toe I sing;Not physiognomy alone, nor brain alone, is worthy for the muse—I say the Form complete is worthier far;
The Female equally with the male I sing.
3
Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power,Cheerful—for freest action form'd, under the laws divine,
The Modern Man I sing.
