O TAN-FACED prairie-boy! <br /> Before you came to camp, came many a welcome gift; <br /> Praises and presents came, and nourishing food--till at last, among <br /> the recruits, <br /> You came, taciturn, with nothing to give--we but look'd on each <br /> other, <br /> When lo! more than all the gifts of the world, you gave me.<br /><br />Walt Whitman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-tan-faced-prairie-boy/
