Walt Whitman – This Moment Yearning and Thoughtful

This Moment Yearning and Thoughtful

THIS moment yearning and thoughtful sitting alone,
It seems to me there are other men in other lands yearning and 
 thoughtful,
It seems to me I can look over and behold them in Germany,
 Italy, France, Spain,
Or far, far away, in China, or in Russia or Japan, talking other 
 dialects,
And it seems to me if I could know those men I should become 
 attached to them as I do to men in my own lands,
O I know we should be brethren and lovers,
I know I should be happy with them.
