ONCE I PASS'D THROUGH A POPULOUS CITY, by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Once I pass'd through a populous city, imprinting my brain, for Last Line: I see her close beside me with silent lips sad and tremulous. Subject(s): Men | |||
Once I pass'd through a populous city imprinting my brain for future use with its shows, architecture, customs, traditions, Yet now of all that city I remember only a woman I casually met there who detain'd me for love of me, Day by day and night by night we were together -- all else has long been forgotten by me, I remember I say only that woman who passionately clung to me, Again we wander, we love, we separate again, Again she holds me by the hand, I must not go, I see her close beside me with silent lips sad and tremulous. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LIE DOWN WITH A MAN by TONY HOAGLAND WHY ARE YOUNG MEN SO UGLY by TONY HOAGLAND SONG OF MEN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS FIRST LESSON by PHYLLIS MCGINLEY A BROADWAY PAGEANT by WALT WHITMAN |
