Audiobook: Sea Drift from Leaves of Grass

OUT OF THE CRADLE ENDLESSLY ROCKING
AS I EBB'D WITH THE OCEAN OF LIFE
TEARS
TO THE MAN-OF-WAR-BIRD
ABOARD AT A SHIP'S HELM
ON THE BEACH AT NIGHT
THE WORLD BELOW THE BRINE
ON THE BEACH AT NIGHT ALONE
SONG OF ALL SEAS, ALL SHIPS
PATROLING BARNEGAT
AFTER THE SEA-SHIP

Sea Drift is a set of 11 poems which make up part of Walt Whitman's larger collection Leaves of Grass. The poems were inspired by Whitman's memories of childhood visits to the sea shores of Paumanok, an old native American name for Long Island, and of later sea voyages. (Summary by Alan Mapstone)
