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. 34. Sands at Seventy. 11. The Wallabout Martyrs
2. Leaves of Grass. 5. Calamus. 38. That Shadow My Likeness
3. Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 28. Offerings
4. Leaves of Grass. 21. Drum-Taps. 35. How Solemn As One by One [Washington City, 1865]
5. Leaves of Grass. 30. Whispers of Heavenly Death. 5. Yet, Yet, Ye Downcast Hours
