...America...Walt Whitman...

Norman Rockwell "Spirit of America", Rockwell Museum Stockbridge MA

"America"

BY WALT WHITMAN

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.
                                                     - 1890
