SUPPLEMENT HOURS, by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Sane, random, negligent hours Last Line: The silent sun and stars. | ||||||||
Sane, random, negligent hours, Sane, easy, culminating hours, After the flush, the Indian summer, of my life, Away from Books -- away from Art -- the lesson learn'd, pass'd o'er, Soothing, bathing, merging all -- the sane, magnetic, Now for the day and night themselves -- the open air, Now for the fields, the seasons, insects, trees -- the rain and snow, Where wild bees flitting hum, Or August mulleins grow, or winter's snowflakes fall, Or stars in the skies roll round -- The silent sun and stars. | 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 |
