The Dalliance of the Eagles.

SKIRTING the river road, (my forenoon walk, my rest,) Skyward in air a sudden muffled sound, the dalliance

Sun-Down Poem.

  • Date: 1856
  • Creator(s): Walt Whitman
Text:

FLOOD-TIDE of the river, flow on! I watch you, face to face, Clouds of the west!

like beads on my smallest sights and hearings—on the walk in the street, and the passage over the river

Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt, Just as any of you is one of a living

Flow on, river! Flow with the flood-tide, and ebb with the ebb-tide!

Bring your freight, bring your shows, ample and sufficient rivers!

like beads on my smallest sights and hearings, on the walk in the street and the passage over the river

and women of a generation, or ever so many generations hence, Just as you feel when you look on the river

I too many and many a time cross'd the river of old, Watched the Twelfth-month sea-gulls, saw them high

River and sunset and scallop-edg'd waves of flood-tide?

9 Flow on, river! flow with the flood-tide, and ebb with the ebb- tide ebbtide !

Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt; Just as any of you is one of a living

crowd, I was one of a crowd; Just as you are refresh'd by the gladness of the river and the bright flow

I too many and many a time cross'd the river, the sun half an hour high; I watched the Twelfth-month
