Walt Whitman

Book XXX. Whispers of Heavenly Death: As If a Phantom Caress’d Me

As if a phantom caress’d me,
  I thought I was not alone, walking here by the shore;
  But the one I thought was with me, as now I walk by the shore—the
        one I loved, that caress’d me,
  As I lean and look through the glimmering light—that one has utterly
        disappear’d,
  And those appear that are hateful to me, and mock me.
