The Prairie States

Walt Whitman

A newer garden of creation, no primal solitude, Dense, joyous, modern, populous millions, cities and farms, With iron interlaced, composite, tied, many in one, By all the world contributed — freedom's and law's and thrift's society,

The crown and teeming paradise, so far, of time's accumulations, To justify the past.
