WALT WHITMAN, by                    
First Line: Simplicity in purity of truth / that in all
Last Line: Is the ever lingering object of walt whitman.
Subject(s): Poetry & Poets; Whitman, Walt (1819-1891)


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.
