This moment yearning and thoughtful, sitting alone, / It seems to me there are other men in other lands, yearning and thoughtful; / It seems to me I can look over and behold them in Prussia, Italy, France, / Spain -- or far, far away, in China, or in Russia or India -- talking other dialects; / And it seems to me, if I could know those men, I should become attached to / them, as I do to men in my own lands. / O I know we should be brethren and lovers; / I know I should be happy with them.
