Answer:

graft - to combine or integrate

transpire - to be revealed

to mottle- to mark with spots

Explanation:

"Song of Myself" is a poem by Walt Whitman, included in his collection Leaves of Grass. It is also the longest poem in this collection, and deals with the search for identity.

In the first excerpt of the poem - <em>''The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into new tongue''</em>, the meaning of the word <em>'graft'</em> is to combine or integrate.

In the second excerpt - <em>''It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men"</em>, the word <em>'transpire'</em> means to be revealed.

In the last excerpt, <em>"Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river", </em>the contextual meaning of <em>'mottling'</em> is marking with spots or blotches.
