To a Common Prostitute + 

Be composed⁠—be at ease with me⁠—I am Walt Whitman, liberal and lusty as Nature, + 

Not till the sun excludes you do I exclude you, + 

Not till the waters refuse to glisten for you and the leaves to rustle for you, do my words refuse to glisten and rustle for you. + 

My girl I appoint with you an appointment, and I charge you that you make preparation to be worthy to meet me, + 

And I charge you that you be patient and perfect till I come. + 

Till then I salute you with a significant look that you do not forget me. + 
