Leaves of Grass (1881-82)
A PROMISE TO CALIFORNIA.

A PROMISE to California,
Or inland to the great pastoral Plains, and on to Puget sound and
Oregon;
Sojourning east a while longer, soon I travel toward you, to remain,
to teach robust American love,

For I know very well that I and robust love belong among you,
inland, and along the Western sea;

For these States tend inland and toward the Western sea, and I
will also.
