A PROMISE to California, 
Also to the great Pastoral Plains, and for Oregon: 
Sojourning east a while longer, soon I travel toward you, to remain, to teach robust
    American
	love;
	
For I know very well that I and robust love belong among you, inland, and along the
    Western
	Sea; 
For These States tend inland, and toward the Western Sea—and I will also.
