O Me! O Life! (for mixed chorus, a cappella)
O Me! O Life!
Recording:
Setting of the Walt Whitman poem:
O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;
Of the endless trains of the faithless -
of cities fill'd with the foolish;
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more
foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light- of the objects mean-
of the struggle ever renew'd;
Of the poor results of all- of the plodding and sordid
crowds I see around me;
Of the empty and useless years of the rest-
with the rest me intertwined;
The question, O me! so sad, recurring- What good
amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here- that life exists, and identity;
That the powerful play goes on,
and you will contribute a verse.
