The Gift Outright
The land was ours before we were the land's.
She was our land more than a hundred years
Before we were her people. She was ours
In Massachusetts, in Virginia,
But we were England's, still colonials,
Possessing what we still were unpossessed by,
Possessed by what we now no more possessed.
Something we were withholding made us weak
Until we found out that it was ourselves
We were withholding from our land of living,
And forthwith found salvation in surrender.
Such as we were we gave ourselves outright
(The deed of gift was many deeds of war)
To the land vaguely realizing westward,
But still unstoried, artless, unenhanced,
Such as she was, such as she would become.

it truly is exciting about what poem he recited and the reason he couldn't study the only he had planned. even as i changed into in third grade, my instructor informed us that tale, yet reported that his textual content blew away. also that it changed into promises to save that he recited. Years later I study what the authentic tale changed into like the answer above.
