Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 24. Autumn Rivulets. 38. The Prairie States

A newer garden of creation, no primal solitude,
Dense, joyous, modern, populous millions, cities and farms,
With iron interlaced, composite, tied, many in one,
By all the world contributed—freedom's and law's and thrift's society,
The crown and teeming paradise, so far, of time's accumulations,
To justify the past.

1. Leaves of Grass. 35. Good-Bye My Fancy. 24. The Commonplace
2. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. Fancies at Navesink. 6. Proudly the Flood Comes In
3. Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 6. Thoughts
4. Leaves of Grass. 24. Autumn Rivulets. 20. Thought
5. Leaves of Grass. 24. Autumn Rivulets. 27. Others May Praise What They Like
