Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900.
56. We Two Boys Together Clinging
| WE two boys together clinging, | |
| One the other never leaving, | |
| Up and down the roads going—North and South excursions making, | |
| Power enjoying—elbows stretching—fingers clutching, | |
| Arm’d and fearless—eating, drinking, sleeping, loving, | 5 |
| No law less than ourselves owning—sailing, soldiering, thieving, threatening, | |
| Misers, menials, priests alarming—air breathing, water drinking, on the turf or the sea-beach dancing, | |
| Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking, feebleness chasing, | |
| Fulfilling our foray. | |
