Walt Whitman · Leaves of Grass

Poem 309 of 382 · Sands at Seventy

After the Dazzle of Day

— ✻ —

After the dazzle of day is gone,
Only the dark, dark night shows to my eyes the stars;
After the clangor of organ majestic, or chorus, or perfect band,
Silent, athwart my soul, moves the symphony true.
