自性吾歌咏，平凡个个人
却能表众意，亦能述群体

生理吾歌咏，由首至足趾，
诗非独取貌，也非只崇脑，
身心合全形，我说乃至高，
女人吾歌咏，男人等如是。

生命无穷尽，激动复蓬勃，
强劲与致兴，自由最胜行，
天道所契成，时人吾歌咏。

译 Walt Whitman

One's-Self I Sing

  One's-self I sing, a simple separate person,
  Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-Masse.

  Of physiology from top to toe I sing,
  Not physiognomy alone nor brain alone is worthy for the Muse, I say
      the Form complete is worthier far,
  The Female equally with the Male I sing.

  Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power,
  Cheerful, for freest action form'd under the laws divine,
  The Modern Man I sing.
