Paumanok.

Sea-beauty! stretch'd and basking! One side thy inland ocean laving, broad,  
 with copious commerce, steamers, sails,
And one the Atlantic's wind caressing, fierce  
 or gentle —and —with mighty hulls dark-gliding  
 in the distance:
Isle of sweet drinking-water—healthy air  
 and soil!—isle of the earth and brine!
Walt Whitman sent to Herald Feb. 27 '88   [begin leaf 1 verso]
