Walt Whitman - That Last Invocation
Work rating: Medium

At the last, tenderly,
From the walls of the powerful, fortress`d house,
From the clasp of the knitted locks—from the keep of the well-closed
         doors,
Let me be wafted.


Let me glide noiselessly forth;
With the key of softness unlock the locks—with a whisper,
Set open the doors, O Soul!


Tenderly! be not impatient!
(Strong is your hold, O mortal flesh!
Strong is your hold, O love.)
