Leaves of Grass, by Walt Whitman

I DREAMED in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the
attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth,

I dreamed that was the new City of Friends,

Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust
love—it led the rest,

It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of
that city,

And in all their looks and words.
