Song of Myself

This is an excerpt from a setting of Walt Whitman's poem, sung by the Towson University Chorale, Paul Rardin, director.

"I chant the chant of dilation or pride, We have had ducking and deprecating about enough.  I show that size is only development.  Have you outstripped the rest? Are you the President? It is a trifle, they will more than arrive there every one, and still pass on."
