Walt Whitman

To You

LET us twain walk aside from the rest;
Now we are together privately, do you discard cere–
        mony;
Come! vouchsafe to me what has yet been vouch–
        safed to none—Tell me the whole story,
Tell me what you would not tell your brother, wife,
        husband, or physician.
