Five lines of the poem "I
Saw in Louisiana a Live Oak Growing." This poem is part of
the "Calamus"
cluster, which Whitman began assembling in the summer of 1859. The
reverse features a note by the poet to himself, describing the poems as
"A Cluster of Poems, Sonnets expressing the thoughts, pictures,
aspirations &c Fit to be perused during the days of the approach of
Death."
