PoemA Leaf For Hand In Hand
Author / PoetWalt Whitman
TagsBoatmen, Mechanics, Mississippi, Processions

A Leaf for hand in hand!
You natural persons old and young!
You on the Mississippi, and on all the branches and bayous of the
Mississippi!
You friendly boatmen and mechanics! You roughs!
You twain! And all processions moving along the streets!
I wish to infuse myself among you till I see it common for you to
walk hand in hand!
