I Will Take An Egg Out Of The Robin's Nest

Walt Whitman

   I WILL take an egg out of the robin's nest in the orchard,
   I will take a branch of gooseberries from the old bush in the garden,
         and go and preach to the world;
   You shall see I will not meet a single heretic or scorner,
   You shall see how I stump clergymen, and confound them,
   You shall see me showing a scarlet tomato, and a white pebble from
         the beach.
