Question

In Section 52 of "Song of Myself," what does the speaker "bequeath" to the dirt?

Answer 1

Himself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Walt Whitman in his poem "Song of Myself", he wrote about the celebration of a human's life, a joyful expression of his life. In an expanded long poem, he narrates how grateful he is for the life that was bestowed upon him, narrating his interaction with the many creatures and ranging freely in his speech.

In section 52 of the poem, the speaker of the poem says he "bequeath [himself] to the dirt to grow from the grass [he] love".
