Leaves of Grass
I will Take an Egg Out of the Robin’s Nest

by Walt Whitman

I will take an egg out of the robin’s nest in the orchard,   
I will take a branch of gooseberries from the old bush in the garden, and go and preach to the world;   
You shall see I will not meet a single heretic or scorner,   
You shall see how I stump clergymen, and confound them,   
You shall see me showing a scarlet tomato, and a white pebble from the beach.
