On the Beach at Night Alone - By Walt Whitman - Read by James Kingdon

On the beach at night alone,
As the old mother sways her to and fro singing her husky song,
As I watch the bright stars shining, I think a thought of the clef of the universes and of the future.

A vast similitude interlocks all,
All spheres, grown, ungrown, small, large, suns, moons, planets,
All distances of place however wide,
All distances of time, all inanimate forms,
All souls, all living bodies though they be ever so different, or in different worlds,
All gaseous, watery, vegetable, mineral processes, the fishes, the brutes,
All nations, colors, barbarisms, civilizations, languages,
All identities that have existed or may exist on this globe, or any globe,
All lives and deaths, all of the past, present, future,
This vast similitude spans them, and always has spann’d,
And shall forever span them and compactly hold and enclose them.

Hi, I’m James Kingdon. I’m a voiceover artist & actor based in London. I’ve set up this channel because I wanted to share my passion for poetry, beautiful scenery and creating voices with you.

Every poem is specially chosen to uplift, to add light and connection to your day. My partner Joanna and I love to wander the UK countryside filming footage we find beautiful, and Joanna then edits it all together, often with music and sound effects from FreeSound.

Thanks for watching!
