subject class:Poetry
book class:Whitman - Poems
class:chapter


THEE for my recitative!
Thee in the driving storm, even as nowthe snowthe winter-day
    declining;
Thee in thy panoply, thy measured dual throbbing, and thy beat
    convulsive;
Thy black cylindric body, golden brass, and silvery steel;
Thy ponderous side-bars, parallel and connecting rods, gyrating,
    shuttling at thy sides;
Thy metrical, now swelling pant and roarnow tapering in the
    distance;
Thy great protruding head-light, fix'd in front;
Thy long, pale, floating vapor-pennants, tinged with delicate purple;
The dense and murky clouds out-belching from thy smoke-stack;
Thy knitted framethy springs and valvesthe tremulous twinkle of
    thy wheels;                        


Thy train of cars behind, obedient, merrily-following,
Through gale or calm, now swift, now slack, yet steadily careering:
Type of the modern! emblem of motion and power! pulse of the
    continent!
For once, come serve the Muse, and merge in verse, even as here I see
    thee,
With storm, and buffeting gusts of wind, and falling snow;
By day, thy warning, ringing bell to sound its notes,
By night, thy silent signal lamps to swing.

Fierce-throated beauty!
Roll through my chant, with all thy lawless music! thy swinging lamps
    at night;
Thy piercing, madly-whistled laughter! thy echoes, rumbling like an
    earthquake, rousing all!                  


Law of thyself complete, thine own track firmly holding;
(No sweetness debonair of tearful harp or glib piano thine,)
Thy trills of shrieks by rocks and hills return'd,
Launch'd o'er the prairies wideacross the lakes,
To the free skies, unpent, and glad, and strong.
