COME, I will make the continent indissoluble; <br /> I will make the most splendid race the sun ever yet shone upon; <br /> I will make divine magnetic lands, <br /> With the love of comrades, <br /> With the life-long love of comrades. <br /> <br /> <br /> I will plant companionship thick as trees along all the rivers of <br /> America, and along the shores of the great lakes, and all over <br /> the prairies; <br /> I will make inseparable cities, with their arms about each other's <br /> necks; <br /> By the love of comrades, <br /> By the manly love of comrades. <br /> <br /> <br /> For you these, from me, O Democracy, to serve you, ma femme! 10 <br /> For you! for you, I am trilling these songs, <br /> In the love of comrades, <br /> In the high-towering love of comrades.<br /><br />Walt Whitman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-song/
