Is based on the following poem
Come my tan-faced children
Follow well in order, get your weapons ready,
Have you your pistols? Have you your sharp-edged
axes? Pioneers! O pioneers!
For we cannot tamry here,
We must march my darlings we must bear the brunt
of danger, We the youthful sinewy races, al the reston
us depend, Pioneers! O pioneers!
Have the elder races halted?
Do they droop and end theirlesson, wearied over there beyond
the seas, We take up the task eternal, and the burden and the
lesson.
Pioneers! O pioneers!
We detachments steady throwing,
Down the edges, through the passes, up mountains step,
Conguering, holding, daring, venturing as we go the
unknown ways, Pioneers! O pioneers!
From Nebraska, from Arkansas,
Central inland race arewe, from Missouri, with the continental
blood intervein'd, All the hands of comrades clasping, all the
Southem, all the Northern,
Pioneers! O pioneers!
- Walt Whitman, poet, "Pioneers! O
Pioneers!" 1865
