While Not The Past Forgetting

Title:     While Not The Past Forgetting
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

While not the past forgetting,
To-day, at least, contention sunk entire--peace, brotherhood uprisen;
For sign reciprocal our Northern, Southern hands,
Lay on the graves of all dead soldiers, North or South,
(Nor for the past alone--for meanings to the future,)
Wreaths of roses and branches of palm.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: While Not The Past Forgetting
