NOT the pilot has charged himself to bring his ship into port, though br beaten back, and many times baffled; br Not the path-finder, penetrating inland, weary and long, br By deserts parch'd, snows-chill'd, rivers wet, perseveres till he br reaches his destination, br More than I have charged myself, heeded or unheeded, to compose a br free march for These States, br To be exhilarating music to them--a battle-call, rousing to arms, if br need be--years, centuries hence.
