Good-bye, Walt!
Good-bye, from all you loved on earth --
Rock, tree, dumb creature, man and woman --
To you, their comrade human,
The last assault
Ends now; and now in some great world has birth
A minstrel, whose strong soul finds broader wings,
More brave imaginings.
Stars crown the hill-top where your dust shall lie,
Even as we say good-bye,
Good-bye, old Walt!
