PAUMANOK, by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Sea-beauty! Stretch'd and basking! Last Line: Isle of the salty shore and breeze and brine! | ||||||||
Sea-beauty! stretch'd and basking! One side thy inland ocean laving, broad, with copious commerce, steamers, sails, And one the Atlantic's wind caressing, fierce or gentle -- mighty hulls dark-gliding in the distance. Isle of sweet brooks of drinking-water -- healthy air and soil! Isle of the salty shore and breeze and brine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CAROL CLOSING SIXTY-NINE by WALT WHITMAN A CLEAR MIDNIGHT by WALT WHITMAN A FARM PICTURE by WALT WHITMAN A PRAIRIE SUNSET by WALT WHITMAN A VOICE PROPHETIC by WALT WHITMAN AN ARMY CORPS ON THE MARCH by WALT WHITMAN AN EVENING LULL by WALT WHITMAN |
