Be composed - be at ease with me - I am Walt Whitman, liberal and lusty as Nature,
Not till the sun excludes you do I exclude you,
Not till the waters refuse to glisten for you and the leaves to rustle

for you, do my words refuse to glisten and rustle for you.

My girl I appoint with you an appointment, and I charge you that

you make preparation worthy to meet me,
And I charge you to be patient and perfect till I come

Till then I salute you with a significant look that you do not forget me.

By Walt Whitman.  From Autumn Rivulets
