Walt Whitman

Did You Ask Dulcet Rhymes From Me?

DID YOU ask dulcet rhymes from me?
Did you find what I sang erewhile so hard to follow,
        to understand?
Why I was not singing erewhile for you to follow, to
        understand—nor am I now;
—What to such as you, anyhow, such a poet as I?
        —therefore leave my works,
And go lull yourself with what you can understand;
For I lull nobody—and you will never understand me.
