Ah, not this marble, dead and cold:
Far from its base and shaft expandingthe round zones circling,
comprehending,
Thou, Washington, art all the world's, the continents' entire
not yours alone, America,
Europe's as well, in every part, castle of lord or laborer's cot,
Or frozen North, or sultry Souththe African'sthe Arab's in
his tent,
Old Asia's there with venerable smile, seated amid her ruins;
(Greets the antique the hero new? tis but the samethe heir
legitimate, continued ever,
The indomitable heart and armproofs of the never-broken
line,
Courage, alertness, patience, faith, the samee'en in defeat
defeated not, the same:)
Wherever sails a ship, or house is built on land, or day or night,
Through teeming cities' streets, indoors or out, factories or farms,
Now, or to come, or pastwhere patriot wills existed or exist,
Wherever Freedom, pois'd by Toleration, sway'd by Law,
Stands or is rising thy true monument.
