Crossing Brooklyn Ferry

Crossing Brooklyn Ferry by Walt Whitman (1819-92) 'Flood-tide below me! I see you face to face! Clouds of the west - sun there half an hour high - I see you also face to face. Crowds of men and women attired in the usual costumes, how curious you are to me! On the ferry boats, the hundreds and hundreds that cross, returning home, are more curious to me that you suppose, And you that shall cross from shore to shore years hence are more to me, and more in my meditations, than you might suppose... ' POETRY IN MOTION Poems on the Underground The Transit Authority. Going Your way. In cooperation with the Poetry Society of America London/New York Poetry Exchange
