To Rich Givers.
WHAT you give me, I cheerfully accept, A little sustenance, a hut and garden, a little money—these as I rendezvous with my poems, A traveller's lodging and breakfast as I journey
through The States—Why should I be ashamed
to own such gifts? Why to advertise for them? For I myself am not one who bestows nothing upon
man and woman, For I know that what I bestow upon any man or
woman is no less than the entrance to all the
gifts of the universe.
