Walt Whitman (Уолт Уитмен)

Leaves of Grass. 22. Memories of President Lincoln. 4. This Dust Was Once the Man

This dust was once the man,
Gentle, plain, just and resolute, under whose cautious hand,
Against the foulest crime in history known in any land or age,
Was saved the Union of these States.
