With All Thy Gifts

Title:     With All Thy Gifts
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

With all thy gifts America,

Standing secure, rapidly tending, overlooking the world,

Power, wealth, extent, vouchsafed to thee--with these and like of these vouchsafed to thee,

What if one gift thou lackest? (the ultimate human problem never solving,)

The gift of perfect women fit for thee--what if that gift of gifts thou lackest?

The towering feminine of thee? the beauty, health, completion, fit for thee?

The mothers fit for thee?

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: With All Thy Gifts
