BRAVO, PARIS EXPOSITION!
ADD to your show, before you close it, France,With all the rest, visible, concrete, temples, tow-
ers, goods, machines, and ores,
Our sentiment wafted from many million heart-
throbs, ethereal, but solid,
(We grandsons and great-grandsons do not for-
get your grandsires),
From fifty Nations and nebulous Nations com-
pacted, sent over sea to-day,
America's applause, love, memories, and good-
will.
WALT WHITMAN.
