Living
O You Whom I Often and Silently Come
From Leaves of Grass
Living
O you whom I often and silently come where you are that I may be with you,
As I walk by your side or sit near, or remain in the same room with you,
Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is
playing within me.
