For we cannot tarry here;

We must march, my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger, We the youthful, sinewy races, all the rest on us depend,

Pioneers! O Pioneers.

Have the elder races halted?

Do they droop and end their lesson, wearied over there beyond the seas?

We take up the task eternal, and the burden and the lesson,

Pioneers! O Pioneers!

-The Pioneer-Walt Whitman.
