By Walt Whitman
The sum of all known value and respect I add up in you whoever you are;
The President is up there in the White House for you . . . it is not you who are here for him,
The Secretaries act in their bureaus for you . . . not you here for them,
The Congress convenes every December for you,
Laws, courts, the forming of states, the charters of cities, the going and coming of commerce and mails are all for you.
