Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 24. Autumn Rivulets. 27. Others May Praise What They Like

Others may praise what they like;
But I, from the banks of the running Missouri, praise nothing in art
      or aught else,
Till it has well inhaled the atmosphere of this river, also the
      western prairie-scent,
And exudes it all again.

1. Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 6. Thoughts
2. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 55. An Evening Lull
3. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. Fancies at Navesink. 6. Proudly the Flood Comes In
4. Leaves of Grass. 35. Good-Bye My Fancy. 6. Apparitions
5. Leaves of Grass. 24. Autumn Rivulets. 20. Thought
