Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 2. Paumanok

Sea-beauty! stretch'd and basking!
One side thy inland ocean laving, broad, with copious commerce,
      steamers, sails,
And one the Atlantic's wind caressing, fierce or gentle—mighty hulls
      dark-gliding in the distance.
Isle of sweet brooks of drinking-water—healthy air and soil!
Isle of the salty shore and breeze and brine!
