To the East and to the West

TO the East and to the West; To the man of the Seaside State, and of Pennsylvania, To the Kanadian of the North—to the Southerner I love; These, with perfect trust, to depict you as myself—the germs are in all men; I believe the main purport of These States is to found a superb friendship, exalté, previously unknown, Because I perceive it waits, and has been always waiting, latent in all men.
