Icing the Body Electric

Walt Whitman wrote,

I SING the Body electric;
The armies of those I love engirth me, and I engirth them;
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the Soul.

Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves;
And if those who defile the living are as bad as they who defile the dead?
And if the body does not do as much as the Soul?
And if the body were not the Soul, what is the Soul?

The love of the Body of man or woman balks account—the body itself balks account;
That of the male is perfect, and that of the female is perfect.

The expression of the face balks account;
But the expression of a well-made man appears not only in his face;
It is in his limbs and joints also, it is curiously in the joints of his hips and wrists;
It is in his walk, the carriage of his neck, the flex of his waist and knees—dress does not hide him;
The strong, sweet, supple quality he has, strikes through the cotton and flannel;
To see him pass conveys as much as the best poem, perhaps more;
You linger to see his back, and the back of his neck and shoulder-side.

I just installed Dragon Naturally Speaking on my computer. It has a different take on this classic poem:

Icing the body electric
the armies of the zealous in girth meaning and I and girth down
they will not let me aloft like a with them response to them
and disk wrote them and charge them full of the charge of the soul.

Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves
and if those who defiled opening race bad as they are defiled the dance?
And if the body does not do as much as the sole?
And of the body were not the sole what is the sole?

The love of the body of man or woman box account the body itself box account.
The tomato is perfect and that of a few notes from.

The expression of the face box account
that the expression of a well-made and appears not only in this case
it is in his limbs until it's also it is curiously in the joints of his hips and risks
it is an Islamic the carriage of his neck floods the links and means dressed as non-
the strong sweet supple quality he has strikes to the cotton flannel
to see him pass conveyances much is the best alone perhaps more
you linger to see his back in the back of his neck and shoulder side.
