The foragers through calm lands Swept in tempest gay, And they breathed the air of balm lands Where rolled savannas lay, And they helped themselves from farm lands   As who should say them nay? THE FORGERS THROUGH CALM LAND SWEPT IN TEMPEST GAY AND THEY BREATHED THE AIR OF BALM LANDS WHERE ROLLED SAVANNAS LAY AND THEY HELPED THEMSELVES FROM FARM LANDS AS WHO SHOULD SAY THEM NAY
ale Southsiders With feints on every hand; Vague menace awed the hiders In forts beyond command. To Sherman’s shifting problem No foeman knew the key; But onward went the marching Unpausing to the sea: It was glorious glad marching, The swinging step was free. The flankers ranged like pigeons In clouds through field or wood; The flocks of all those regions, The herds and horses good, Poured in and swelled the legions, For they caught the marching mood. A volley ahead! They hear it; And they hear the repartee: Fighting was but frolic In that marching to the sea: It was glorious glad marching, A marching bold and free. All nature felt their coming, The birds like couriers flew, And the banners brightly blooming The slaves by thousands drew, And they marched beside the drumming, And they joined the armies blue. The cocks crowed from the cannon (Pets named from Grant and Lee), Plumed fighters and campaigners In the marching to the sea: It was glorious glad marching, For every man was free.
