Children of Adam:
Intro: https://youtu.be/p1ongvIHNFk
To The Garden the World:
From Pent-up Aching Rivers:
I Sing The Body Electric:
A Woman Waits For Me:
Spontaneous Me:
One Hour to Madness and Joy:
Out Of The Rolling Ocean the Crowd:
Ages and Ages Returning at Intervals:
We Two, How Long We were Fool'd:
O Hymen! O Hymenee!:
I am He that Aches with Love:
Native Moments:
Once I Pass'd through a Populous City:
I Heard You Solemn-sweet Pipes of the Organ:
Facing West from California's Shores:
As Adam Early in the Morning:
Calamus:
In Paths Untrodden:
Scented Herbage of My Breast:
Whoever You are Holding Me Now in Hand:
For You O Democracy:
These I Singing in Spring:
Not Heaving from my Ribb'd Breast Only:
Of the Terrible Doubt of Appearances:
The Base of All Metaphysics:
Recorders Ages Hence:
When I Heard at the Close of the Day:
Are You the New Person Drawn toward Me?:
Roots and Leaves Themselves Alone:
Not Heat Flames Up and Consumes:
Trickle Drops:
City of Orgies:
Behold This Swarthy Face:
I Saw in Louisiana a Live-oak Growing:
To a Stranger:
This Moment Yearning and Thoughtful:
I Hear It was Charged against Me:
The Prairie-grass Dividing:
When I Peruse the Conquer'd Fame:
We Two Boys together Clinging:
A Promise to California:
Here The Frailest Leaves of Me:
No Labor-Saving Machine:
A Glimpse:
A Leaf for Hand in Hand:
Earth, My Likeness:
I Dream'd in a Dream:
What Think You I Take My Pen in Hand?:
To the East and to the West:
Sometimes with One I Love:
To a Western Boy:
Fast Anchor'd Eternal O Love!:
Among the Multitude:
O You whom I Often and Silently Come:
That Shadow My Likeness:
Full of Life now:
Salut Au Monde!:
