Interlink'd food-yielding lands! Land of coal and iron! land of gold! land of cotton, sugar, rice!

Starting from Paumanok

STARTING from fish-shape Paumanok, where I was born,

Well-begotten, and rais’d by a perfect mother;

After roaming many lands—lover of populous pavements;

Dweller in Mannahatta, my city—or on southern savannas;

Or a soldier camp’d, or carrying my knapsack and gun—or a miner in California;

Or rude in my home in Dakota’s woods, my diet meat, my drink from the spring;

Or withdrawn to muse and meditate in some deep recess,

Far from the clank of crowds, intervals passing, rapt and happy;

Aware of the fresh free giver, the flowing Missouri—aware of mighty Niagara;

Aware of the buffalo herds, grazing the plains—the hirsute and strong-breasted bull;

Of earth, rocks, Fifth-month flowers, experienced—stars, rain, snow, my amaze;

Having studied the mocking-bird’s tones, and the mountainhawk’s,

And heard at dusk the unrival’d one, the hermit thrush from the swamp-cedars,

Solitary, singing in the West, I strike up for a New World.

Victory, union, faith, identity, time, The indissoluble compacts, riches, mystery, Eternal progress, the kosmos, and the modern reports

Not the types set up by the printer return their impression, the meaning, the main concern,

starting from Paumanok 

[sorteswhitmanae]

All hold spiritual joys and afterwards loosen them; How can the real body ever die and be buried?

Starting from Paumanok 

[sorteswhitmanae]

With firm and regular step they wend, they never stop, Successions of men, Americanos, a hundred Millions
