Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900.

30. As Adam, Early in the Morning

AS Adam, early in the morning,
Walking forth from the bower, refresh’d with sleep;
Behold me where I pass—hear my voice—approach,
Touch me—touch the palm of your hand to my Body as I pass;
Be not afraid of my Body.	5
