Whitman: I Dream’d in a Dream...

I DREAM’D in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth; 

I dream’d that was the new City of Friends;  

Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love—it led the rest;  

It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city,  

And in all their looks and words.
