Sea-Drift

"Sea-Drift" is the title of a section of Walt Whitman's great poetic work Leaves of Grass, first published in 1855. It is a compilation of poems referring to the sea or the sea-shore.^[1]

Sea-Drift follows the section titled A Broadway Pageant, and precedes the section By The Roadside.

The poems included in Sea-Drift are:

Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking
As I Ebb'd with the Ocean of Life
Tears
To the Man-of War Bird
Aboard at a Ship's Helm
On the Beach at Night
The World Below the Brine
On the Beach at Night Alone
Song for All Seas, All Ships
Patrolling Barnegat
After the Sea-Ship
