To Get the Final Lilt of Songs

Name: Leaves of Grass - To Get the Final Lilt of Songs
Author: Walt Whitman

TO get the final lilt of songs,

To penetrate the inmost lore of poets- to know the mighty ones,

Job, Homer, Eschylus, Dante, Shakespere, Tennyson, Emerson;

To diagnose the shifting-delicate tints of love and pride and doubt-

to truly understand,

To encompass these, the last keen faculty and entrance-price,

Old age, and what it brings from all its past experiences.
