A PROMISE TO CALIFORNIA.
| Also to the great Pastoral Plains, and for Oregon: |
Sojourning east a while longer, soon I travel toward
you, to remain, to teach robust American love;
|
For I know very well that I and robust love belong
among you, inland, and along the Western
Sea;
|
For These States tend inland, and toward the Western
Sea—and I will also.
