Title:     Year That Trembled And Reel'd Beneath Me
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

Year that trembled and reel'd beneath me!
Your summer wind was warm enough, yet the air I breathed froze me,
A thick gloom fell through the sunshine and darken'd me,
Must I change my triumphant songs? said I to myself,
Must I indeed learn to chant the cold dirges of the baffled,
And sullen hymns of defeat?

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: Year That Trembled And Reel'd Beneath Me
