Each lifted up a broidered cross, While crossing blades profaned the sign; Monks blessed the fraticidal lance, And sisters scarfs could twine. Do North and South the sin retain Of Yorkist and Lancastrian?

ll,[6] With you they braved the blended yell Of rebel and maligner fell; With you in shame or fame they dwell, McClellan: Antietam-braves a brave can tell. And when your comrades (now so few, McClellan-- Such ravage in deep files they rue) Meet round the board, and sadly view The empty places; tribute due They render to the dead--and you! Absent and silent o’er the blue; The one-armed lift the wine to _you_, McClellan, And great Antietam’s cheers renew. Battle of Stone River, Tennessee. A View from Oxford Cloisters. (January, 1863.) With Tewksbury and Barnet heath In days to come the field shall blend, The story dim and date obscure; In legend all shall end. Even now, involved in forest shade A Druid-dream the strife appears, The fray of yesterday assumes The haziness of years. In North and South still beats the vein Of Yorkist and Lancastrian. Our rival Roses warred for Sway-- For Sway, but named the name of Right; And Passion, scorning pain and death, Lent sacred fervor to the fight.
