And what I assume you shall assume,

For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

I loafe and invite my soul,

I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.

My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this air,

Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same,

I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,

Hoping to cease not till death.

Creeds and schools in abeyance,

Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten,

I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard,

Nature without check with original energy.

Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same," These lines are saying that everyone is born the same and no one is necessarily born better, just take what you have and live happily with it.

I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass." perfectly demonstrate this tone because the person in the poem is just loafing around watching grass. They are just chilling and that feeling follows throughout the poem.
