For You, O Democracy
BY
Walt Whitman


Buy Walt Whitman's Works




Come, I will make the continent indissoluble,
I will make the most splendid race the sun ever shone upon,
I will make divine magnetic lands,
      With the love of comrades,
      With the life-long love of comrades.


I will plant companionship thick as trees along all the rivers of America,
    and along the shores of the great lakes, and all over the prairies,
I will make inseparable cities with their arms about each other's necks,
      By the love of comrades,
      By the manly love of comrades.


For you these from me, O Democracy, to serve you ma femme!
For you, for you I am trilling these songs.
