Listen, Listen, Listen

O for the voices of animals—
O for the swiftness and balance of fishes!
O for the dropping of
Raindrops in a song!
O for the sunshine
And motion of waves in a song!
O the engineer’s joy
To go with a locomotive
To hear the hiss of steam,
The merry shriek, the steam whistle,
The laughing locomotive!
To push with resistless way
And speed off in the distance.

Walt Whitman (Extract from A Song of Joys)
