True Conquerors

Title:     True Conquerors
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

Old farmers, travelers, workmen (no matter how crippled or bent,)
Old sailors, out of many a perilous voyage, storm and wreck,
Old soldiers from campaigns, with all their wounds, defeats and scars;
Enough that they've survived at all--long life's unflinching ones!
Forth from their struggles, trials, fights, to have emerged at all--in that alone,
True conquerors o'er all the rest.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: True Conquerors
