Walt Whitman · Leaves of Grass

Poem 79 of 382 · Calamus

O You Whom I Often and Silently Come

— ✻ —

O you whom I often and silently come where you are that I may be with you,
As I walk by your side or sit near, or remain in the same room with you,
Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is
playing within me.
