[00:00:00] To A Locomotive In Winter By Walt Whitman - Gideon Wagner

[00:00:03] To A Locomotive In Winter By Walt Whitman

[00:00:10] Thee for my recitative

[00:00:13] Thee in the driving storm even as now

[00:00:16] The snow the winter-day declining

[00:00:19] Thee in thy panoply

[00:00:21] Thy measured dual throbbing

[00:00:23] And thy beat convulsive

[00:00:26] Thy black cylindric body

[00:00:28] Golden brass and silvery steel

[00:00:31] Thy ponderous side-bars

[00:00:34] Parallel and connecting rods gyrating

[00:00:37] Shuttling at thy sides

[00:00:40] Thy metrical now swelling pant and roar

[00:00:43] Now tapering in the distance

[00:00:45] Thy great protruding head-light fixed in front

[00:00:49] Thy long pale floating vapor-pennants

[00:00:53] Tinged with delicate purple

[00:00:55] The dense and murky clouds out-belching

[00:00:59] From thy smoke-stack

[00:01:00] Thy knitted frame thy springs and valves

[00:01:04] The tremulous twinkle of

[00:01:05] Thy wheels

[00:01:06] Thy train of cars behind obedient

[00:01:10] Merrily following

[00:01:11] Through gale or calm now swift

[00:01:14] Now slack yet steadily careering

[00:01:17] Type of the modern emblem of motion

[00:01:20] And power pulse of the continent

[00:01:23] For once come serve the muse

[00:01:26] And merge in verse

[00:01:27] Even as here I see thee

[00:01:29] With storm and buffeting gusts

[00:01:31] Of wind and falling snow

[00:01:35] By day thy warning ringing bell

[00:01:37] To sound it's notes

[00:01:39] By night thy silent signal lamps to swing

[00:01:43] Fierce-throated beauty

[00:01:46] Roll through my chant

[00:01:47] With all thy lawless music

[00:01:49] Thy swinging lamps

[00:01:50] At night

[00:01:52] Thy madly-whistled laughter echoing

[00:01:54] Rumbling like an earthquake

[00:01:56] Rousing all

[00:01:58] Law of thyself complete

[00:02:01] Thine own track firmly holding

[00:02:03] No sweetness debonair of tearful harp

[00:02:06] Or glib piano thine

[00:02:08] Thy trills of shrieks

[00:02:10] By rocks and hills returned

[00:02:13] Launched over the prairies wide

[00:02:15] Across the lakes

[00:02:16] To the free skies unpent and glad and strong
