Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 24. Autumn Rivulets. 30. The Torch

On my Northwest coast in the midst of the night a fishermen's group
      stands watching,
Out on the lake that expands before them, others are spearing salmon,
The canoe, a dim shadowy thing, moves across the black water,
Bearing a torch ablaze at the prow.

1. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 43. The Dying Veteran
2. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 49. You Lingering Sparse Leaves of Me
3. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 39. Life and Death
4. Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 21. Visor'd
5. Leaves of Grass. 24. Autumn Rivulets. 23. To a Pupil
