Title:     As The Greek's Signal Flame
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

As the Greek's signal flame, by antique records told,
Rose from the hill-top, like applause and glory,
Welcoming in fame some special veteran, hero,
With rosy tinge reddening the land he'd served,
So I aloft from Mannahatta's ship-fringed shore,
Lift high a kindled brand for thee, Old Poet.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: As The Greek's Signal Flame
