“…O, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away you rolling river.
Across that wide and rolling river.
Ah-ha, I’m bound away, ‘Cross the wide Missouri…”
W. B. Whall, Ships, Sea Songs and Shanties , 1919
and I know in the night
I rest easy
in the prairie arms,
on the prairie heart...”
Carl Sandburg, Cornhuskers, 1918
