LINGERING LAST DROPS, by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: And whence and why come you?
Last Line: To make the passing shower's concluding drops.
First Line: And whence and why come you?
Last Line: To make the passing shower's concluding drops.
And whence and why come you?
We know not whence, (was the answer,)
We only know that we drift here with the rest,
That we linger'd and lagg'd -- but were wafted at last, and
are now here,
To make the passing shower's concluding drops.
