Quotation by Walt Whitman

I sit by the restless all the dark night, some are so young,
Some suffer so much, I recall the experience sweet and sad,
(Many a soldier's loving arms about this neck have cross'd and
rested,
Many a soldier's kiss dwells on these bearded lips.)
Walt Whitman (1819–1892), U.S. poet. The Wound-Dresser (l. 62–65). . .
