AS IF A PHANTOM CARESS'D ME by WALT WHITMAN

Poet Analysis

Last Line: And those appear that are hateful to me and mock me
Subject(s): LOVE – LOSS OF;
AS if a phantom caress'd me,
I thought I was not alone walking here by the shore;
But the one I thought was with me as now I walk by the shore,the one I loved that caress'd me,
As I lean and look through the glimmering light, that one has utterly disappear'd,
And those appear that are hateful to me and mock me.
