Leaves of Grass.

10. Not a disembodied spirit can the weapons of tyrants let loose,

But it stalks invisibly over the earth, whispering, counselling, cautioning.

11. Liberty! let others despair of you! I never despair of you.

12. Is the house shut? Is the master away?

Nevertheless be ready—be not weary of watching,
He will soon return — his messengers come anon.
