TO-DAY AND THEE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The appointed winners in a long-stretch'd game
Last Line: The heirdom all converged in thee!


The appointed winners in a long-stretch'd game;
The course of Time and nations -- Egypt, India, Greece and Rome;
The past entire, with all its heroes, histories, arts, experiments,
Its store of songs, inventions, voyages, teachers, books,
Garner'd for now and thee -- To think of it!
The heirdom all converged in thee!
