Poem

Year That Trembled

Walt Whitman
YEAR that trembled and reel'd beneath me! Your summer wind was warm enough--yet the air I breathed froze me; A thick gloom fell through the sunshine and darken'd me; Must I change my triumphant songs? said I to myself; Must I indeed learn to chant the cold dirges of the baffled? And sullen hymns of defeat?
