One's-Self I Sing
                         by Walt Whitman

One's-self I sing, a simple separate person,
Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-Masse.

Of 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.

Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power,
Cheerful, for freest action form'd under the laws
					    divine,
The Modern Man I sing.
