Paumanok by Walt Whitman Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 1855

Sea-beauty! stretch'd and basking!
One side thy inland ocean laving, broad, with copious commerce,
        steamers, sails,
And one the Atlantic's wind caressing, fierce or gentle—mighty hulls
        dark-gliding in the distance.
Isle of sweet brooks of drinking-water—healthy air and soil!
Isle of the salty shore and breeze and brine!
