I Hear America Singing by Walt Whitman doesn’t specifically reference the American dream but is related.
If you can use song lyrics, try Neil Diamond’s song America which does reference the American dream and is a very positive song.
Wow, @SavoirFaire you must’ve read my mind! I was going to post that exact poem.
If you are looking for poems about America, Langston Hughes is a great poet for that.
What about Woody Guthrie ‘s “This Land is your Land”.
^^^ I love it when this song gets performed at extreme-right-wing events. People sing along with gusto, having no idea that it’s a socialist anthem and critical response to Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America.”
