Fecund America! To-day,
Thou art all over set in births and joys!
Thou groan’st with riches! thy wealth clothes thee
  as with a swathing garment!
Thou laughest loud with ache of great possessions!
A myriad-twining life, like interlacing vines, binds all thy vast demesne!
As some huge ship, freighted to water’s edge, thou ridest into port!
As rain falls from the heaven, and vapors rise from earth,
  so have the precious values fallen upon thee, and risen out of thee!
Thou envy of the globe! thou miracle!
Thou, bathed, choked, swimming in plenty!
Thou lucky Mistress of the tranquil barns!
Thou Prairie Dame that sittest in the middle,
  and lookest out upon thy world, and lookest East, and lookest West!
Dispensatress, that by a word givest a thousand miles --
  that giv’st a million farms, and missest nothing!
Thou All-Acceptress -- thou Hospitable --
 (thou only art hospitable, as God is hospitable.)
