object:1.whitman - Give Me The Splendid, Silent Sun
author class:Walt Whitman
subject class:Poetry
book class:Whitman - Poems
class:chapter


Give me the splendid silent sun, with all his beams full-dazzling;
Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard;
Give me a field where the unmow'd grass grows;
Give me an arbor, give me the trellis'd grape;
Give me fresh corn and wheatgive me serene-moving animals, teaching
    content;
Give me nights perfectly quiet, as on high plateaus west of the
    Mississippi, and I looking up at the stars;
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers, where I can
    walk undisturb'd;
Give me for marriage a sweet-breath'd woman, of whom I should never
    tire;
Give me a perfect childgive me, away, aside from the noise of the
    world, a rural, domestic life;
Give me to warble spontaneous songs, reliev'd, recluse by myself, for
    my own ears only;                    


Give me solitudegive me Naturegive me again, O Nature, your
    primal sanities!
These, demanding to have them, (tired with ceaseless excitement,
    and rack'd by the war-strife
These to procure, incessantly asking, rising in cries from my heart,
While yet incessantly asking, still I adhere to my city;
Day upon day, and year upon year, O city, walking your streets,
Where you hold me enchain'd a certain time, refusing to give me up;
Yet giving to make me glutted, enrich'd of soulyou give me forever
    faces;
(O I see what I sought to escape, confronting, reversing my cries;
I see my own soul trampling down what it ask'd for.)


Keep your splendid, silent sun;                


Keep your woods, O Nature, and the quiet places by the woods;
Keep your fields of clover and timothy, and your corn-fields and
    orchards;
Keep the blossoming buckwheat fields, where the Ninth-month bees hum;
Give me faces and streets! give me these phantoms incessant and
    endless along the trottoirs!
Give me interminable eyes! give me women! give me comrades and lovers
    by the thousand!
Let me see new ones every day! let me hold new ones by the hand every
    day!
Give me such shows! give me the streets of Manhattan!
Give me Broadway, with the soldiers marchinggive me the sound of
    the trumpets and drums!
(The soldiers in companies or regimentssome, starting away, flush'd
    and reckless;
Some, their time up, returning, with thinn'd ranksyoung, yet very
    old, worn, marching, noticing nothing          


Give me the shores and the wharves heavy-fringed with the black
    ships!
O such for me! O an intense life! O full to repletion, and varied!
The life of the theatre, bar-room, huge hotel, for me!
The saloon of the steamer! the crowded excursion for me! the torch-
    light procession!
The dense brigade, bound for the war, with high piled military wagons
    following;
People, endless, streaming, with strong voices, passions, pageants;
Manhattan streets, with their powerful throbs, with the beating
    drums, as now;
The endless and noisy chorus, the rustle and clank of muskets, (even
    the sight of the wounded
Manhattan crowds, with their turbulent musical choruswith varied
    chorus, and light of the sparkling eyes;
Manhattan faces and eyes forever for me.
