Race Of Veterans

Walt Whitman 1819 (West Hills) – 1892 (Camden)




   RACE of veterans! Race of victors!
   Race of the soil, ready for conflict! race of the conquering march!
   (No more credulity's race, abiding-temper'd race;)
   Race henceforth owning no law but the law of itself;
   Race of passion and the storm.
