"America": Centre of equal daughters, equal sons,
All, all alike endear'd , grown, un grown, young or old,
Strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable, rich,
Perennial with the Earth, with Freedom, Law and Love.
At the Walt Whitman Archives there is a 36-second wax cylinder recording of what might be Walt Whitman reading four lines from his poem "America."
For more information about this recording read this New York Times article.
