See, mechanics busy at their benches with toolsā āsee from among them superior judges, philosophs, Presidents, emerge, drest in working dresses, See, lounging through the shops and fields of the States, me well-belovād, close-held by day and night, Hear the loud echoes of my songs thereā āread the hints come at last.
O camerado close! O you and me at last, and us two only. O a word to clear oneās path ahead endlessly! O something ecstatic and undemonstrable! O music wild! O now I triumphā āand you shall also; O hand in handā āO wholesome pleasureā āO one more desirer and lover! O to haste firm holdingā āto haste, haste on with me.
