Simplicity in purity of truth, That in all things truth's vision is seen; The music and wisdom of fairness In all things small or big, Is the sympathy of men of pure souls. Society's false glimmer Dazzles not the eyes That see fairness; The simple secrets of nature That puzzle the mind of a child, These mysteries of life that quest the aged and wise, Is the ever lingering object of Walt Whitman. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RECRUIT by ROBERT WILLIAM CHAMBERS THE MARTYRS OF THE MAINE by RUPERT HUGHES HALSTED STREET CAR by CARL SANDBURG A BALLAD OF LIFE by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE HAMPTON BEACH by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER RIDDLE by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD DEDICATION OF THE DESIGNS TO BLAIR'S GRAVE: TO THE QUEEN by WILLIAM BLAKE |
