Come, said my soul
by:Walt Whitman

Come, said my Soul,
Such verses for my Body let us write, (for we are one,)
that should I after death invisibliy return,
Or, long, long hence, in other shperes,
There to some group of mates the chants resuming,
(Tallying Earth's soil, trees, winds, tumultuos waves,)
Ever with pleas'd smile I may keep on,
Ever and ever yet the verses owning - as, first, I here and now,
Signing for Soul and Body, set to them my name.,

Walt Whitman

The sacredness of the body is a recurring theme in Whitman's poetry. He repeated rejects the notion that the body is in any way inferior to the soul, or that that spiritual experience is somehow loftier than physical experience. He insists that human sexuality and other physical experiences are deeply spiritual, that the soul and the body are one. (His poem "I Sing the Body Electric" is one of his most powerful statements of that belief.) In these lines, the soul calls for poetry that celebrates the body, and imagines itself continuing to love and enjoy the physical world even after the body's death. The soul in these lines clearly feels at one with the body, since it says that it can sign for both of them.
