Infinitessimals out of my life, and many a life, IC (For not my life and years alone I give-all, all I give ;) These thoughts and Songs-waifs from the deep-here, cast high and dry, Wash'd on America's shores. 2 Currents of starting a Continent new, Overtures sent to the solid out of the liquid, Fusion of ocean and land-tender and pensive waves, (Not safe and peaceful only-waves rous'd and ominous too. Out of the depths, the storm's abysms-Who knows whence? Death's waves, Raging over the vast, with many a broken spar and tatter'd sail.) FROM MY LAST YEARS. Published in "Two Rivulets," 1876. FROM my last years, last thoughts I here bequeath, For Time to germinate fully. IN FORMER SONGS. Published in "Two Rivulets," 1876. IN former songs Pride have I sung, and Love, and passionate, joyful Life, But here I twine the strands of Patriotism and Death. And now, Life, Pride, Love, Patriotism and Death, To you, O FREEDOM, purport of all! (You that elude me most-refusing to be caught in songs of mine,) I offer all to you. 'Tis not for nothing, Death, 2 I sound out you, and words of you, with daring tone-embodying you, In my new Democratic chants-keeping you for a close, For last impregnable retreat—a citadel and tower, For my last stand—my pealing, final cry.
