  124. p. 231, line 1City of the world! (for all races are here,
  125. p. 231, line 2All the lands of the earth make contributions here;)
  126. p. 232, line 7But suddenly pouring about me here on every side,
  127. p. 232, line 21Here we lay encamp'd, it was this time in summer also.
  128. p. 232, line 23It was read here, the whole army paraded, it was read to us here,

  131. p. 234, line 3Nobody clapp'd hands here then.
  132. p. 240, line 15Dead and divine and brother of all, and here again he lies.

  135. p. 254, line 5Here marching, ever marching on, a war fight out—aye here,
  136. p. 257, line 2Here, coffin that slowly passes,
  137. p. 258, line 15In the distance the flowing glaze, the breast of the river, with a wind-dapple here and there,
  138. p. 263, line 3Here Captain! dear father!
  139. p. 266, line 10Here is not merely a nation but a teeming Nation of nations,
  140. p. 266, line 11Here the doings of men correspond with the broadcast doings of the day and night,
  141. p. 266, line 12Here is what moves in magnificent masses careless of particulars,
  142. p. 266, line 13Here are the roughs, beards, friendliness, combativeness, the soul loves,
  143. p. 266, line 14Here the flowing trains, here the crowds, equality, diversity, the soul loves.
  144. p. 270, line 24Are you he who would assume a place to teach or be a poet here in the States?
  145. p. 270, line 26Who would assume to teach here may well prepare himself body and mind,
  146. p. 271, line 21Does it not assume that what is notoriously gone is still here?
  147. p. 272, line 21Death is without emergencies here, but life is perpetual emergencies here,
  148. p. 276, line 10Not to call even those lofty bards here by Ontario's shores,
  149. p. 280, line 27But here and hence your victory.
  150. p. 281, line 24The Mother of All, yet here as ever she watches you.
  151. p. 289, line 12I believe of all those men and women that fill'd the unnamed lands, every one exists this hour here or elsewhere, invisible to us,
  152. p. 291, line 3All that is well thought or said this day on any part of the globe, or on any of the wandering stars, or on any of the fix'd stars, by those there as we are here,
  153. p. 294, line 10For spring-time is here! the summer is here! and what is this in it and from it?
  154. p. 294, line 12Come, let us lag here no longer, let us be up and away!
  155. p. 296, line 19This condensation of the universe, (nay here the only universe,
  156. p. 296, line 20Here the idea, all in this mystic handful wrapt;)
  157. p. 296, line 28Lingering a moment here and now, to you I opposite turn,
  158. p. 302, line 5Myself effusing and fluid, a phantom curiously floating, now here absorb'd and arrested,
  159. p. 309, line 12(Yet strangely fitting even here, meanings unknown before,
  160. p. 309, line 13Subtler than ever, more harmony, as if born here, related here,
  161. p. 309, line 15Sounds, echoes, wandering strains, as really here at home,
  162. p. 310, line 4Here the tableaus of life, and here the groupings of death;
  163. p. 310, line 5Here, do you know this? this is cicerone himself,
  164. p. 323, line 2Have we not stood here like trees in the ground long enough?
  165. p. 323, line 3Have we not grovel'd here long enough, eating and drinking like mere brutes?
  166. p. 324, line 26For that O God, be it my latest word, here on my knees,
  167. p. 327, line 22It is dark here under ground, it is not evil or pain here, it is blank here, for reasons.
  168. p. 333, line 10To think that we are now here and bear our part.
  169. p. 339, line 25And my sweet love bequeath'd here and elsewhere never dies.
  170. p. 340, line 9Permanent here from my side, warlike, equal with any, real as any,
  171. p. 340, line 19Here the square finishing, the solid, I the most solid,
  172. p. 341, line 22I thought I was not alone walking here by the shore;
  173. p. 343, line 12Here, sailor! here, ship! take aboard the most perfect pilot,
  174. p. 349, line 9Ready, collected here, a freer, vast, electric world, to be constructed here,
  175. p. 355, line 14Come here she blushingly cries, Come nigh to me limber-hipp'd man,
  176. p. 359, line 11For once come serve the Muse and merge in verse, even as here I see thee,
  177. p. 360, line 10The piney odor and the gloom, the awful natural stillness, (here in these dense swamps the freebooter carries his gun, and the fugitive has his conceal'd hut;)
  178. p. 362, line 20Invoking here and now I challenge for my song.
  179. p. 368, line 28But thou that revelest here—spirit that form'd this scene,
  180. p. 375, line 7Wonderful to be here!
  181. p. 376, line 22And set a tombstone here.
  182. p. 382, line 9(Is it night? are we here together alone?)

  187. p. 387, line 11The stepping stones to thee to-day and here, America.
  188. p. 389, line 3Here waiting for the sunrise, gazing from this hill;)*
  189. p. 392, line 4(I see and plainly list thy talk and conference here,)
  190. p. 398, line 1Here first the duties of to-day, the lessons of the concrete,
  191. p. 399, line 2Which, strange to tell, gave me an answer, as here translated:
  192. p. 399, line 11Soon shall the winter's foil be here;

  200. p. 409, line 12We only know that we drift here with the rest,
  201. p. 409, line 13That we linger'd and lagg'd—but were wafted at last, and are now here,
  202. p. 410, line 7Here, here from wanderings, strayings, lessons, wars, defeats—here at the west a voice triumphant—justifying all,
  203. p. 410, line 12As here in careless trill, I and my recitatives, with faith and love,
  204. p. 410, line 19To-day at twilight, hobbling, answering company roll-call, Here, with vital voice,
  205. p. 414, line 14Minister to speak to me, here and now, what word has never told, and cannot tell,
