One's-Self I Sing.

Part of the cluster INSCRIPTIONS.

ONE'S-SELF I SING.

1ONE'S-SELF I sing—a simple, separate Person; Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-masse. 2Of 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. 3Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power, Cheerful—for freest action form'd, under the laws di- 
 vine, The Modern Man I sing.
