History & Politics
To-Day and Thee
From Leaves of Grass
History & Politics
The appointed winners in a long-stretch’d game;
The course of Time and nations--Egypt, India, Greece and Rome;
The past entire, with all its heroes, histories, arts, experiments,
Its store of songs, inventions, voyages, teachers, books,
Garner’d for now and thee--To think of it!
The heirdom all converged in thee!
