Walt Whitman - Not The Pilot
Work rating: Low

NOT the pilot has charged himself to bring his ship into port, though
         beaten back, and many times baffled;
Not the path-finder, penetrating inland, weary and long,
By deserts parch`d, snows-chill`d, rivers wet, perseveres till he
         reaches his destination,
More than I have charged myself, heeded or unheeded, to compose a
         free march for These States,
To be exhilarating music to them—a battle-call, rousing to arms, if
         need be—years, centuries hence.
