To the East and to the West by Walt Whitman Lyrics

To the East and to the West,
To the man of the Seaside State and of Pennsylvania,
To the Kanadian of the north, to the Southerner I love,
These with perfect trust to depict you as myself, the germs are in all men,
I believe the main purport of these States is to found a superb
        friendship, exalte, previously unknown,
Because I perceive it waits, and has been always waiting, latent in all men.
