Walt Whitman - I Sit And Look Out
Work rating: High

	I SIT and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all
	        oppression and shame;
	I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men, at anguish with
	        themselves, remorseful after deeds done;
	I see, in low life, the mother misused by her children, dying,
	        neglected, gaunt, desperate;
	I see the wife misused by her husband—I see the treacherous seducer
	        of young women;
	I mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love, attempted to be
	        hid—I see these sights on the earth;
	I see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny—I see martyrs and
	        prisoners;
	I observe a famine at sea—I observe the sailors casting lots who
	        shall be kill`d, to preserve the lives of the rest;
	I observe the slights and degradations cast by arrogant persons upon
	        laborers, the poor, and upon negroes, and the like;
	All these—All the meanness and agony without end, I sitting, look
	        out upon,
	See, hear, and am silent.
