We were sore deceived  an awful host! They move like a roaring wind. Have we gamed and lost? WE WERE SORE DECEIVED AN AWFUL HOST THEY MOVED LIKE A ROARING WIND HAVE WE GAINED AND LOST
g to the sea. The Frenzy in the Wake.[14] Sherman’s advance through the Carolinas. (February, 1865.) So strong to suffer, shall we be Weak to contend, and break The sinews of the Oppressor’s knee That grinds upon the neck? O, the garments rolled in blood Scorch in cities wrapped in flame, And the African--the imp! He gibbers, imputing shame. Shall Time, avenging every woe, To us that joy allot Which Israel thrilled when Sisera’s brow Showed gaunt and showed the clot? Curse on their foreheads, cheeks, and eyes-- The Northern faces--true To the flag we hate, the flag whose stars Like planets strike us through. From frozen Maine they come, Far Minnesota too; They come to a sun whose rays disown-- May it wither them as the dew! The ghosts of our slain appeal: “Vain shall our victories be” But back from its ebb the flood recoils-- Back in a whelming sea. With burning woods our skies are brass, The pillars of dust are seen; The live-long day their cavalry pass-- No crossing the road between.
