A poem by Walt Whitman, from his Leaves of Grass, from the "drum taps" section, which were written during the American civil war.

======---------

World take good notice, silver stars fading,
Milky hue ript, weft of white detaching,
Coals thirty-eight, baleful and burning,
Scarlet, significant, hands off warning,
Now and henceforth flaunt from these shores.
