Walt Whitman - Among the Multitude.

AMONG the men and women, the multitude, 
I perceive one picking me out by secret and divine signs, 
Acknowledging none else—not parent, wife, husband, brother, child, any nearer than I
    am; 
Some are baffled—But that one is not—that one knows me. 
  
Ah, lover and perfect equal!
I meant that you should discover me so, by my faint indirections; 
And I, when I meet you, mean to discover you by the like in you.

There are two errors in the poem: 1) on line five, the word "but" should not be capitalized and 2) on line seven, the word "my" should be deleted, as it was not in Whitman's original poem.
