TO RICH GIVERS.
WHAT you give me I cheerfully accept, A little sustenance, a hut and garden, a little money, as I rendez-vous with my poems, A traveler'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 bestow upon any man or woman the entrance to all the gifts
of the universe.
