Walt Whitman

Here you will find the Poem Delicate Cluster of poet Walt Whitman

Delicate Cluster

DELICATE cluster! flag of teeming life!
 Covering all my lands! all my sea-shores lining!
 Flag of death! (how I watch'd you through the smoke of battle
 pressing!
 How I heard you flap and rustle, cloth defiant!)
 Flag cerulean! sunny flag! with the orbs of night dappled!
 Ah my silvery beauty! ah my woolly white and crimson!
 Ah to sing the song of you, my matron mighty!
 My sacred one, my mother.
