Full of Life, Now.

Walt Whitman·1819–1892
Lines:8
FULL of life, now, compact, visible,I, forty years old the Eighty-third Year of The States,To one a century hence, or any number of centuries hence,To you, yet unborn, these, seeking you. When you read these, I, that was visible, am become invisible;Now it is you, compact, visible, realizing my poems, seeking me;Fancying how happy you were, if I could be with you, and become your comrade;Be it as if I were with you. (Be not too certain but I am now with you.)
