ON journeys through the States we start, br (Ay, through the world--urged by these songs, br Sailing henceforth to every land--to every sea;) br We, willing learners of all, teachers of all, and lovers of all. br br We have watch'd the seasons dispensing themselves, and passing on, br We have said, Why should not a man or woman do as much as the br seasons, and effuse as much? br br We dwell a while in every city and town; br We pass through Kanada, the north-east, the vast valley of the br Mississippi, and the Southern States; br We confer on equal terms with each of The States, br We make trial of ourselves, and invite men and women to hear; 10 br We say to ourselves, Remember, fear not, be candid, promulge the body br and the Soul; br Dwell a while and pass on--Be copious, temperate, chaste, magnetic, br And what you effuse may then return as the seasons return, br And may be just as much as the seasons.
