THE PRAIRIE STATES, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: A newer garden of creation, no primal solitude
Last Line: To justify the past.
Subject(s): Middle West; Midwest; Old Northwest; Central States; North Central States


A newer garden of creation, no primal solitude,
Dense, joyous, modern, populous millions, cities and farms,
With iron interlaced, composite, tied, many in one,
By all the world contributed -- freedom's and law's and
thrift's society,
The crown and teeming paradise, so far, of time's accumulations,
To justify the past.
