| I CELEBRATE myself; | |
| And what I assume you shall assume; | |
| For every atom belonging to me, as good belongs to you. | |
| I loafe and invite my Soul; | |
| I lean and loafe at my ease, observing a spear of summer grass. | 5 |
| Houses and rooms are full of perfumes—the shelves are crowded with perfumes; | |
| I breathe the fragrance myself, and know it and like it; | |
| The distillation would intoxicate me also, but I shall not let it. | |
| The atmosphere is not a perfume—it has no taste of the distillation—it is odorless; | |
| It is for my mouth forever—I am in love with it; | 10 |
| I will go to the bank by the wood, and become undisguised and naked; | |
I am mad for it to be in contact with me.![]() | |
