Walt Whitman - Here the Frailest Leaves of Me.
HERE the frailest leaves of me, and yet my strongest-lasting: Here I shade and hide my thoughts—I myself do not expose them, And yet they expose me more than all my other poems.

Here the Frailest Leaves of Me. - Comments and Information
Poet: Walt Whitman Poem: 24. Here the Frailest Leaves of Me. Volume: Leaves of Grass - 3. Calamus Year: Published/Written in 1900 Comment 2 of 2, added on September 11th, 2005 at 8:02 AM. I found this poem to be about love. Love is our weakest emotion and yet our strongest. We hide behind love. We also look for love to protect us. When we're in love it shines through us. robin from United States Comment 1 of 2, added on August 30th, 2005 at 7:15 PM. Recently an older friend of mine likened his 75 year- old-state with that of the dying Aspen trees in his yard. It was sad; he is sad. Like the tune of an old song one never forgets, this poem came to my mind. The last of line one is the most powerful, and hoping he will read with purpose, I sent it to him. Age can embody power, and if Whitman felt it, anyone can. Kay Smith from United States More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem? Perhaps you are trying to analyze it?
