From
Leaves of Grass, by
Walt Whitman:
A
leaf for
hand in hand;
You
natural persons old and young!
You on the
Mississippi and on all the branches and
bayous
of the Mississippi!
You friendly boatmen and
mechanics! you roughs!
You twain! and all processions moving along the streets!
I wish to
infuse myself among you till I see it common for
you to walk hand in hand.
