Edgar Lee Masters - Captain Orlando Killion

Edgar Lee Masters - Captain Orlando Killion

Oh, you young radicals and dreamers, br You dauntless fledglings br Who pass by my headstone, br Mock not its record of my captaincy in the army br And my faith in God! br They are not denials of each other. br Go by reverently, and read with sober care br How a great people, riding with defiant shouts br The centaur of Revolution, br Spurred and whipped to frenzy, br Shook with terror, seeing the mist of the sea br Over the precipice they were nearing, br And fell from his back in precipitate awe br To celebrate the Feast of the Supreme Being.
