Walt Whitman: I tramp a perpetual journey -- I hear America singing -- On land: Miracles -- Song of myself -- Sparkles from the wheel -- To a locomotive in winter -- Ox-tamer -- Man's body at auction -- I think I could turn and live with animals -- At sea: Aboard at a ship's helm -- World below the brine -- On the beach at night -- Did you read in the seabooks... -- At war: Come up from the fields father -- Runaway slave -- Artilleryman's vision -- O captain! My captain! -- When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd -- Sky and cosmos: Noiseless patient spider -- Dalliance of the eagles -- When I heard the learn'd astronomer -- I tramp a perpetual journey -- Spotted hawk swoops by.
