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.
