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. 34. Sands at Seventy. 31. Yonnondio
2. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 39. Life and Death
3. Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 8. Perfections
4. Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 28. Offerings
5. Leaves of Grass. 35. Good-Bye My Fancy. 1. Sail out for Good, Eidolon Yacht!
