I swear I will never mention love or death inside a house$$$<br>And I swear I never will translate myself at all$$$ only to him or her who privately stays with me in the open air.
Do you guess I have some intricate purpose? Well I have$$$ for the Fourth-month showers have$$$ and the mica on the side of a rock has.
I sing the body electric$$$<br>The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them$$$<br>They will not let me off till I go with them$$$ respond to them$$$<br>And discorrupt them$$$ and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
I too am not a bit tamed$$$ I too am untranslatable.
A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands;<br>How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he.
Give me juicy autumnal fruit$$$ ripe and red from the orchard.
Long have you timidly waded <br>Holding a plank by the shore$$$ <br>Now I will you to be a bold swimmer$$$ <br>To jump off in the midst of the sea$$$ <br>Rise again$$$ nod to me$$$ shout$$$ <br>And laughingly dash with your hair.
Loafe with me on the grass<br>loose the stop from your throat; <br>Not words$$$ not music or rhyme I want<br>not custom or lecture$$$ not even the best; <br>Only the lull I like$$$ the hum of your valved voice.
Storming$$$ enjoying$$$ planning$$$ loving$$$ cautioning$$$<br>Backing and filling$$$ appearing and disappearing$$$<br>I tread day and night such roads.
This hour I tell things in confidence/ I might not tell everybody$$$ but I will tell you.
