Walt Whitman - Turn, O Libertad
Work rating: Low

TURN, O Libertad, for the war is over,
(From it and all henceforth expanding, doubting no more, resolute,
         sweeping the world,)
Turn from lands retrospective, recording proofs of the past;
From the singers that sing the trailing glories of the past;
From the chants of the feudal world—the triumphs of kings, slavery,
         caste;
Turn to the world, the triumphs reserv`d and to come—give up that
         backward world;
Leave to the singers of hitherto—give them the trailing past;
But what remains, remains for singers for you—wars to come are for
         you;
(Lo! how the wars of the past have duly inured to you—and the wars
         of the present also inure 
—Then turn, and be not alarm`d, O Libertad—turn your undying
         face,                                                        


To where the future, greater than all the past,
Is swiftly, surely preparing for you.
