<TITLE>Darest Thou Now O Soul</TITLE>
<POET>Walt Whitman</POET>
<STANZA>
<VERSE>Darest thou now O soul,</VERSE>
<VERSE>Walk out with me toward the unknown region,</VERSE>
<VERSE>Where neither ground is for the feet nor
any path to follow?</VERSE>
</STANZA>
<STANZA>
<VERSE>No map there, nor guide,</VERSE>
<VERSE>Nor voice sounding, nor touch of
human hand,</VERSE>
<VERSE>Nor face with blooming flesh, nor lips,
are in that land.</VERSE>
</STANZA>
<STANZA>
<VERSE>I know it not O soul,</VERSE>
<VERSE>Nor dost thou, all is blank before us,</VERSE>
<VERSE>All waits undream'd of in that region,
that inaccessible land.</VERSE>
</STANZA>
<STANZA>
<VERSE>Till when the ties loosen,</VERSE>
<VERSE>All but the ties eternal, Time and Space,</VERSE>
<VERSE>Nor darkness, gravitation, sense,
nor any bounds bounding us.</VERSE>
</STANZA>
<STANZA>
<VERSE>Then we burst forth, we float,</VERSE>
<VERSE>In Time and Space O soul,
prepared for them,</VERSE>
<VERSE>Equal, equipt at last, (O joy! O fruit of all!)
them to fulfil O soul.</VERSE>
</STANZA>
</POEM>
