Out of the rolling ocean, the crowd, came a drop gently to me,
Whispering, I love you, before long I die.
I have travel'd a long way, merely to look on you, to touch you,
For I could not die till I once look'd on you,
For I fear'd I might afterward lose you.
***
Now we have met, we have look'd, we are safe;
Return in peace to the ocean, my love;
I too am part of the ocean, my love- we are not so much separated.
Behold the great rondure- the cohesion of all, how perfect!
But as for me, for you, the irresistible sea is to separate us...
As for an hour, carrying us diverse - yet cannot carry us diverse for ever;
Be not impatient - a little space- know you, I salute the air, the ocean and the land.
Every day, at sundown, for your dear sake, my love.
Walt Whitman.
