To A Western Boy

Walt Whitman

   O BOY of the West!
   To you many things to absorb, I teach, to help you become eleve of
         mine:
   Yet if blood like mine circle not in your veins;
   If you be not silently selected by lovers, and do not silently select
         lovers,
   Of what use is it that you seek to become eleve of mine?
