The Dead Emperor

________________________________________________
Title:     The Dead Emperor
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

To-day, with bending head and eyes, thou, too, Columbia,
Less for the mighty crown laid low in sorrow--less for the Emperor,
Thy true condolence breathest, sendest out o'er many a salt sea mile,
Mourning a good old man--a faithful shepherd, patriot.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: Dead Emperor
