Walter "Walt" Whitman (May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse. His work was very controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality.
Born on Long Island, Whitman worked as a journalist, a teacher, a government clerk, and – in addition to publishing his poetry – was a volunteer nurse during the American Civil War. Early in his career, he also produced a temperance novel, Franklin Evans (1842). Whitman's major work, Leaves of Grass, was first published in 1855 with his own money. The work was an attempt at reaching out to the common person with an American epic. He continued expanding and revising it until his death in 1892. After a stroke towards the end of his life, he moved to Camden, New Jersey, where his health further declined. He died at age 72 and his funeral became a public spectacle.
you say that nothing is better than this
I feel the same and let you know with each kiss
that I love you
this thing is bigger than you or me
from here to heaven or across any sea
it's true
oh sweetie everything's excellent
oh sweetie everything's fine
I know I've said it already before
but every time means even more
I swear it's true
I'll never go back to how I was
I don't have to now because
I have you
oh sweetie everything's excellent
oh sweetie everything's fine
how did I get so lucky
or when will someone wake me
from this dream
it's much too good to be real
I can't belive the way I feel
but it's true
oh sweetie everything's excellent
oh sweetie everything's fine
everything's fine
