THIS moment yearning and thoughtful, sitting alone, <br /> It seems to me there are other men in other lands, yearning and <br /> thoughtful; <br /> It seems to me I can look over and behold them, in Germany, Italy, <br /> France, Spain--or far, far away, in China, or in Russia or <br /> India--talking other dialects; <br /> And it seems to me if I could know those men, I should become <br /> attached to them, as I do to men in my own lands; <br /> O I know we should be brethren and lovers, <br /> I know I should be happy with them.<br /><br />Walt Whitman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-moment-yearning-and-thoughtful/
