A Une Certaine Cantatrice.(Translation) .
Voici, prends ce cadeau,
Je le reservais pour quelque heros,
un orateur, ou quelque general,
Quelqu'un qui servirait le bon parti
ancien, le progres et la liberte de la race,
Quelque adversaire courageux des dictateurs,
quelque revolte audacieux;
Mais je vois que ce que je reservais
t'appartient aussi bien qu'a n'importe quel autre.
-' To a Certain Cantatrice'. Walt Whitman.
The poet was keeping a present for a hero or an orator or a brave soldier, but he now sees that this female singer deserves the gift just as much. She must have impressed him with her singing. It is typical of Whitman to give credit to a woman just as much as a man.
