Bkmk
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd
We few, we happy few, we band of Freepers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlepersons in America now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their soul cheap whiles any speaks
That posted with us upon this historic April day.
