THE PATRIOTIC POEMS
OF
WALT WHITMAN
[Illustration]
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.
