To Rich Givers

Title:     To Rich Givers
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

What you give me I cheerfully accept,

A little sustenance, a hut and garden, a little money, as I rendezvous with my poems,

A traveler's lodging and breakfast as journey through the States,--why should I be ashamed to own such gifts? why to advertise for them?

For I myself am not one who bestows nothing upon man and woman,

For I bestow upon any man or woman the entrance to all the gifts of the universe.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: To Rich Givers
