Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,
The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,
We, the people, must redeem
The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.
The mountains and the endless plain —
All, all the stretch of these great green states —
And make America again!

I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the
flow of human blood in human veins.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I went down to the river, I set down on the bank. I tried to think but couldn't, So I jumped in and sank.
