Walt Whitman – Youth, Day, Old Age and Night

Youth, Day, Old Age and Night

YOUTH, large, lusty, loving—youth full of grace, force, fascination,
Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace, 
 force, fascination?

Day full-blown and splendid—day of the immense sun, action, 
 ambition, laughter,
The Night follows close with millions of suns, and sleep and 
 restoring darkness.
