Walt Whitman

Here you will find the Poem O Living Always--Always Dying of poet Walt Whitman

O Living Always--Always Dying

O LIVING always--always dying!
 O the burials of me, past and present!
 O me, while I stride ahead, material, visible, imperious as ever!
 O me, what I was for years, now dead, (I lament not--I am content;)
 O to disengage myself from those corpses of me, which I turn and look
 at, where I cast them!
 To pass on, (O living! always living!) and leave the corpses behind!
