Book 24 - Autumn Rivulets The Prairie States

A newer garden of creation, no primal solitude,

Dense, joyous, modern, populous millions, cities and farms,

With iron interlaced, composite, tied, many in one,

By all the world contributed--freedom's and law's and thrift's society,

The crown and teeming paradise, so far, of time's accumulations,

To justify the past.
