#1 我歌頌自我
我歌頌自我,一個簡單獨立個體,
也訴說民主與群眾的語言。
我歌頌人體,從頭到腳,
不僅容貌和大腦值得繆思的歌聲──完整的形體更值得頌揚;
我歌頌男人,也平等地歌頌女人。
我歌頌熱情、脈動與力量豐沛飽滿的生命,
歡呼吧,因神聖律法下,最自由自在的行動成形,
我歌頌現代人類。
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.
