AGES AND AGES RETURNING AT INTERVALS.
| AGES and ages returning at intervals, |
| Undestroy'd, wandering immortal, |
| Lusty, phallic, with the potent original loins, perfectly sweet, |
| I, chanter of Adamic songs, |
| Through the new garden the West, the great cities calling, |
|
Deliriate, thus prelude what is generated, offering these, offering
myself, |
| Bathing myself, bathing my songs in Sex, |
| Offspring of my loins. |
