O Tan-Faced Prairie Boy

O tan-faced prairie boy!
Before you came to camp came many a welcome gift;
Praises and presents came, and nourishing food--till at last, among the recruits,
You came, taciturn, with nothing to give--we but looked on each other,
When lo! more than all the gifts of the world you gave me.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: O Tan-Faced Prairie Boy
