Song of Myself

by Walt Whitman

Overview

It was with this first version of 'Song of Myself,' from the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass, that Whitman first made himself known to the world. Readers familiar with the later, revised editions will find this first version new, surprising, and often superior to the revisions, and exhilarating in the freshness of its vision.

Editorial Reviews
