               Come, said my soul,
               Such verses for my Body let us write, (for we are one,)
               That should I after return,
               Or, long, long hence, in other spheres,
               There to some group of mates the chants resuming,
               (Tallying Earth's soil, trees, winds, tumultuous waves,)
               Ever with pleas'd smile I may keep on,
               Ever and ever yet the verses owning—as, first, I here and now
               Signing for Soul and Body, set to them my name,
               Walt Whitman
