LONG, LONG HENCE, by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: After a long, long course, hundreds of years, denials
Last Line: Then only may these songs reach fruition.
First Line: After a long, long course, hundreds of years, denials
Last Line: Then only may these songs reach fruition.
After a long, long course, hundreds of years, denials,
Accumulations, rous'd love and joy and thought,
Hopes, wishes, aspirations, ponderings, victories, myriads of readers,
Coating, compassing, covering -- after ages' and ages' encrustations,
Then only may these songs reach fruition.
