Splendid Person

To call him a person of splendour
You must name him by his names alone.
Towards these signs my mind has set,
Yesterday, the surrender was made and we were
Present, to remark further and longer,
Two steps took pride, a man’s walk
And a woman’s march, the longest transport
Under the sun that shines so brilliantly
By day and by other days of daylight.
