S1L1 AP Literature and Composition Poetry Unit To a Locomotivei in Winter Walt Whitman Emily Dickinson I like to see it lap the Miles Thee for my recitative, And lick the Valleys up Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day And stop to feed itself at Tanks declining, ii Thee in thy panoply , thy measur'd dual throbbing and thy beat And then - prodigious step convulsive, Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel, Around a Pile of Mountains Thy ponderous side-bars, parallel and connecting rods, gyrating, And supercilious peer shuttling at thy sides, In Shanties - by the sides of Roads Thy metrical, now swelling pant and roar, now tapering in the distance, Thy great protruding head-light fix'd in front, And then a Quarry pare Thy long, pale, floating vapor-pennants, tinged with delicate purple, The dense and murky clouds out-belching from thy smoke-stack, To fit it's sides Thy knitted frame, thy springs and valves, the tremulous twinkle of And crawl between thy wheels, Complaining all the while Thy train of cars behind, obedient, merrily following, Through gale or calm, now swift, now slack, yet steadily careering; In horrid - hooting stanza Type of the modern--emblem of motion and power--pulse of the Then chase itself down Hill continent, For once come serve the Muse and merge in verse, even as here I see And neigh like Boanerges thee, Then - prompter than a Star With storm and buffeting gusts of wind and falling snow, Stop - docile and omnipotent By day thy warning ringing bell to sound its notes, By night thy silent signal lamps to swing. At it's own stable door Fierce-throated beauty! Roll through my chant with all thy lawless music, thy swinging lamps at night, Thy madly-whistled laughter, echoing, rumbling like an earthquake, i rousing all, Locomotive: a powered rail vehicle used for pulling trains Law of thyself complete, thine own track firmly holding, ii a complete or impressive collection of things. (No sweetness debonair of tearful harp or glib piano thine,) Thy trills of shrieks by rocks and hills return'd, Launch'd o'er the prairies wide, across the lakes, To the free skies unpent and glad and strong.
