Walt Whitman

Here you will find the Poem Joy, Shipmate, Joy! of poet Walt Whitman

Joy, Shipmate, Joy!

Joy! shipmate--joy!
 (Pleas'd to my Soul at death I cry;)
 Our life is closed--our life begins;
 The long, long anchorage we leave,
 The ship is clear at last--she leaps!
 She swiftly courses from the shore;
 Joy! shipmate--joy!
