Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 13. America

Centre of equal daughters, equal sons,
All, all alike endear'd, grown, ungrown, young or old,
Strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable, rich,
Perennial with the Earth, with Freedom, Law and Love,
A grand, sane, towering, seated Mother,
Chair'd in the adamant of Time.

1. Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 6. Thoughts
2. Leaves of Grass. 35. Good-Bye My Fancy. 6. Apparitions
3. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 55. An Evening Lull
4. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. Fancies at Navesink. 6. Proudly the Flood Comes In
5. Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 28. Offerings
