TO A PRESIDENT, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: All you are doing and saying is to america dangled mirages
Last Line: Off from these states.
Subject(s): Buchanan, James. President (1791-1868); Presidents, United States; United States; America


All you are doing and saying is to America dangled mirages,
You have not learn'd of Nature -- of the politics of Nature
you have not learn'd the great amplitude, rectitude,
impartiality,
You have not seen that only such as they are for these States,
And that what is less than they must sooner or later lift
off from these States.
