George Brush is my name
America’s my nation
Luddington’s my dwelling place
And Heaven’s my destination.

The lines read like a compact self-introduction that moves outward in widening circles: personal identity (“my name”), civic belonging (“my nation”), local rootedness (“my dwelling place”), and finally spiritual destiny (“my destination”). The rhyme and sing-song cadence suggest a folk verse, epitaph, or children’s recitation—something meant to be easily remembered and repeated. In that form, the speaker’s life is summarized as a set of affiliations, culminating in an ultimate orientation beyond geography or politics. If used by Wilder, it would fit his recurring interest in ordinary lives framed against larger metaphysical horizons, where the everyday (a town, a home) is set beside the eternal.
