*For summer: Song of Myself*

 

Walt Whitman ~

 

The beginning of  “Song of Myself”

****************************

I celebrate myself ;

And what I assume you shall assume ;

For every atom belonging to me, as good belongs to you.

 

I loafe and invite my Soul ;

I lean and loafe at my ease, observing a spear of summer grass.
