HERE THE FRAILEST LEAVES OF ME by WALT WHITMAN

Poet Analysis

First Line: HERE THE FRAILEST LEAVES OF ME AND YET MY STRONGEST LASTING
Last Line: AND YET THEY EXPOSE ME MORE THAN ALL MY OTHER POEMS.

Here the frailest leaves of me and yet my strongest lasting,
Here I shade and hide my thoughts, I myself do not expose them,
And yet they expose me more than all my other poems.
