?《草叶集》的核心、五十二节的长诗《自我之歌》，是美国长诗的经典。惠特曼认为理想的诗人是自我的歌手。他是一个「我」诗人。他从这首长诗的第一行就直截了当地唱出﹕「我赞美我自己，也歌唱我自己。」他自己是怎样一个人呢？请看他的自画像﹕ ? ?? ? 沃尔特?惠特曼，一个宇宙，曼哈顿的儿子，? ? 骚动不安、肉体发达、情欲旺盛，吃、喝、生殖，? ? 决不是故作多情的人，也不是高人一等、独往独来的人……? ? 我信奉肉体和欲望，? ? 看、听、触是奇迹，我的每一部分和标记也都是奇迹。? ? 我从里到外都是神性的，? ? 我祝圣凡是我触过的或被触过的东西，? ? 这些腋窝的芳香比祷告还美，? ? 这个脑袋胜过教堂、经典、和所有的信条。?  朗读I celebrate myself,and sing myself,我赞美我自己，歌颂我自己，And what I assume you shall assume,我所承担的一切,你也必须承担，For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.因为属于我的每一个原子,也同样属于你。?I loafe and invite my soul,我闲游,并邀我的灵魂同往，I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.我悠闲地俯视一片夏天的草叶。?? ? ?My tongue,every atom of my blood,formd from this soil,this air,我的舌头，我血液中的每个原子，都由这泥土、这空气所形成Born here of parents born here from parents the same,and their parents the same,我生于这里，我的父母生于这里，他们的父母也生于这里，I,now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,我如今三十七岁，在健康良好的状况下出发，Hoping to cease not till death.愿至死方休。?
