FROM Paumanock starting, I fly like a bird, br Around and around to soar, to sing the idea of all; br To the north betaking myself, to sing there arctic songs, br To Kanada, till I absorb Kanada in myself--to Michigan then, br To Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, to sing their songs, (they are br inimitable;) br Then to Ohio and Indiana to sing theirs--to Missouri and Kansas and br Arkansas, to sing theirs, br To Tennessee and Kentucky--to the Carolinas and Georgia, to sing br theirs, br To Texas, and so along up toward California, to roam accepted br everywhere; br To sing first, (to the tap of the war-drum, if need be,) br The idea of all--of the western world, one and inseparable. 10 br And then the song of each member of These States.
