The Wallabout Martyrs

Title:     The Wallabout Martyrs
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

Greater than memory of Achilles or Ulysses,
More, more by far to thee than tomb of Alexander,
Those cart loads of old charnel ashes, scales and splints of mouldy bones,
Once living men--once resolute courage, aspiration, strength,
The stepping stones to thee to-day and here, America.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: Wallabout Martyrs
