Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman

BOOK V. CALAMUS - No Labor-Saving Machine

< Previous
Table of content
Next >

No labor-saving machine,
Nor discovery have I made,
Nor will I be able to leave behind me any wealthy bequest to found
hospital or library,
Nor reminiscence of any deed of courage for America,
Nor literary success nor intellect; nor book for the book-shelf,
But a few carols vibrating through the air I leave,
For comrades and lovers.
