Walt Whitman

Drum-Taps Walt Whitman

A Book from Walt Whitman. ETHIOPIA "Drum-Taps" SALUTING THE COLOURS. Who are you dusky woman, so ancient hardly human, With your woolly-white and turban'd head, and bare bony feet Why rising by the roadside here, do you the colours greet? ('Tis while our army lines Carolina's sands and pines, Forth from thy hovel door thou Ethiopia com'st to me, As under doughty Sherman I march toward the sea.) 19th Century Book
