We Two Boys Together Clinging.

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.

We Two Boys Together Clinging.

WE two boys together clinging, One the other never leaving, Up and down the roads going—North and South excur- 
 sions making, Power enjoying—elbows stretching—fingers clutching, Arm'd and fearless—eating, drinking, sleeping, loving, No law less than ourselves owning—sailing, soldiering,  
 thieving, threatening, Misers, menials, priests alarming—air breathing, water  
 drinking, on the turf or the sea-beach dancing, Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking, fee- 
 bleness chasing, Fulfilling our foray.

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.
