Artwork Description:
AMERICA always
Always our own feuillage
Always Florida’s green peninsula Always the priceless delta of Louisiana Always the
cotton-fields of Alabama and Texas
Always California’s golden hills and hollows—and the silver mountains of New
Mexico
Always soft-breath’d Cuba
Always the vast slope drain’d by the Southern Sea—inseparable with the slopes
drain’d
by the Eastern and Western Seas
The area the eighty-third year of These States—the three and a half millions of
square
miles
The eighteen thousand miles of sea-coast and bay-coast on the main—the thirty
thousand
miles of
river navigation,
The seven millions of distinct families, and the same number of dwellings—Always
these,
and
more, branching forth into numberless branches
Always the free range and diversity always the continent of Democracy
Always the prairies, pastures, forests, vast cities, travelers, Kanada, the snows
Always these compact lands—lands tied at the hips with the belt stringing the huge
oval
lakes
Always the West,
