BEGINNING MY STUDIES, by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Beginning my studies the first step pleas'd me so much
Last Line: But stop and loiter all the time to sing it in ecstatic songs.
First Line: Beginning my studies the first step pleas'd me so much
Last Line: But stop and loiter all the time to sing it in ecstatic songs.
Beginning my studies the first step pleas'd me so much,
The mere fact consciousness, these forms, the power of motion,
The least insect or animal, the senses, eyesight, love,
The first step I say awed me and pleas'd me so much,
I have hardly gone and hardly wish'd to go any farther,
But stop and loiter all the time to sing it in ecstatic songs.
