NOT MEAGRE, LATENT BOUGHS ALONE, by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Not meagre, latent boughs alone, o songs! (scaly and bare, like eagles' talons)
Last Line: And love and faith, like scented roses blooming.
First Line: Not meagre, latent boughs alone, o songs! (scaly and bare, like eagles' talons)
Last Line: And love and faith, like scented roses blooming.
Not meagre, latent boughs alone, O songs! (scaly and bare,
like eagles' talons,)
But haply for some sunny day (who knows?) some future
spring, some summer -- bursting forth,
To verdant leaves, or sheltering shade -- to nourishing fruit,
Apples and grapes -- the stalwart limbs of trees emerging
-- the fresh, free, open air,
And love and faith, like scented roses blooming.
