Poem

To A Certain Cantatrice

Walt Whitman
HERE, take this gift! I was reserving it for some hero, speaker, or General, One who should serve the good old cause, the great Idea, the progress and freedom of the race; Some brave confronter of despots--some daring rebel; --But I see that what I was reserving, belongs to you just as much as to any.
