A poem by Walt Whitman

Joy, Shipmate, Joy!

________________________________________________
Title:     Joy, Shipmate, Joy!
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

Joy, shipmate, Joy!
(Pleas'd to my soul at death I cry,)
Our life is closed, our life begins,
The long, long anchorage we leave,
The ship is clear at last, she leaps!
She swiftly courses from the shore,
Joy, shipmate, joy.







[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: Joy, Shipmate, Joy!
