From My Last Years

Walt Whitman 1819 (West Hills) – 1892 (Camden)

FROM my last years, last thoughts I here bequeath,
   Scatter'd and dropt, in seeds, and wafted to the West,
   Through moisture of Ohio, prairie soil of Illinois--through Colorado,
         California air,
   For Time to germinate fully.
