Hidden Springs, Delicate Wheels: William Petersen's House
What you achieved will not fail with your death:
it will endure beyond your final breath,
and find a glorious place in History.
This was the first war for the liberty
of all---against inhumane tyranny,
that made a pedestal for slavery.
The epoch of the slavers' dominance
has passed---the very concept struck down once
and for all. Lifeblood trickles from your head,
and soon you will have joined the "Honored Dead."
And then, the Son of God and Son of Man
will welcome you into the Promised Land;
and just behind Him, with an outstretched hand,
the lovely, barefoot, joyously smiling Ann.
