You,
Whoever You Are
You, whoever
you are!...
All you
continentals of Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, indifferent
of place!
All you on the numberless islands of the archipelagoes of
the sea!
All you of centuries hence when you listen to me!
All you each and everywhere whom I specify not, but include
just the same!
Health to you! good will to you all, from me and America sent!
Each of us is inevitable,
Each of us is limitlesseach of us with his or her right
upon the earth,
Each of us allow'd the eternal purports of the earth,
Each of us here as divinely as any is here.
