73 <br /> <br />Who never lost, are unprepared <br />A Coronet to find! <br />Who never thirsted <br />Flagons, and Cooling Tamarind! <br /> <br />Who never climbed the weary league— <br />Can such a foot explore <br />The purple territories <br />On Pizarro's shore? <br /> <br />How many Legions overcome— <br />The Emperor will say? <br />How many Colors taken <br />On Revolution Day? <br /> <br />How many Bullets bearest? <br />Hast Thou the Royal scar? <br />Angels! Write "Promoted" <br />On this Soldier's brow!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-never-lost-are-unprepared/
