Walt Whitman — This Moment Yearning and Thoughtful

This moment yearning and thoughtful sitting alone, It seems to me there are other men in other lands yearning and thoughtful, It seems to me I can look over and behold them in Germany, Italy,          France, Spain, Or far, far away, in China, or in Russia or talking other dialects, And it seems to me if I could know those men I should become         attached to them as I do to men in my own lands, O I know we should be brethren and lovers, I know I should be happy with them.
