The black and his woolly head, the felon, the diseased, the illiterate person, are not denied;
The birth, the hasting after the physician; the beggar’s tramp, the drunkard’s stagger, the laughing party of mechanics,
The escaped youth, the rich person’s carriage, the fop, the eloping couple,
The early marketman, the hearse, the moving of furniture into town, the return back from town,
They pass—I also pass—anything passes—none may be interdicted;
None but are accepted—none but are dear to me.
Mon enfant! I give you my hand!
I give you my love more precious than money;
I give you myself before preaching or law;
Will you give me yourself? Will you come travel with me?
