Thou Mother with Thy Equal BroodThou Mother with thy equal brood, Thou varied chain of different States, yet one identity only, A special song before I go I’d sing o’er all the rest, For thee, the future.I’d sow a seed for thee of endless Nationality, I’d fashion thy ensemble including body and soul, I’d show away ahead thy real Union, and how it may be accomplish’d.The paths to the house I seek to make, But leave to those to come the house itself.Belief I sing, and preparation; As Life and Nature are not great with reference to the present only, But greater still from what is yet to come, Out of that formula for thee I sing.

Walt Whitman: Leaves of Grass, Book XXXI
