To Soar in Freedom and in Fullness of Power

I have not so much emulated the birds that musically sing,
I have abandon'd myself to flights, broad circles,
The hawk, the seagull, have far more possess'd me than
the canary or mocking-bird,
I have not felt to warble and trill, however sweetly,
I have felt to soar in freedom and in the fullness of power,
joy, volition.

Walt Whitman
Old Age Echoes (1891)
