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. 56. Old Age's Lambent Peaks
2. Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 32. Life
3. Leaves of Grass. 5. Calamus. 16. Behold This Swarthy Face
4. Leaves of Grass. 5. Calamus. 21. The Prairie-Grass Dividing
5. Leaves of Grass. 21. Drum-Taps. 12. An Army Corps on the March
