OF MANY A SMUTCH'D DEED REMINISCENT by WALT WHITMAN

Poet Analysis

First Line: FULL OF WICKEDNESS, I - OF MANY A SMUTCH'D DEED REMINISCENT - OF WORSE DEEDS
Last Line: BECAUSE OF HIS BOUNDLESS LOVE FOR ME.
Subject(s): LOVE;
Full of wickedness, I -- of many a smutch'd deed
reminiscent -- of worse deeds capable,
Yet I look composedly upon nature, drink day and night the
joys of life, and await death with perfect equanimity.
Because of my tender and boundless love for him I love and
because of his boundless love for me.
