Multitudinously thronging The waters all converge, Then they sweep adown in sloping Solidity of surge. MULTITUDINOUSLY THRONGING THE WATERS ALL CONVERGE THEN THEY SWEEP ADOWN IN SLOPING SOLIDITY OF SURGE
h recess When fainting we fought in the Wilderness, And Hell made loud hurrah; But God is in Heaven, and Grant in the Town, And Right through might is Law-- _God’s way adore._ The Surrender at Appomattox. (April, 1865.) As billows upon billows roll, On victory victory breaks; Ere yet seven days from Richmond’s fall And crowning triumph wakes The loud joy-gun, whose thunders run By sea-shore, streams, and lakes. The hope and great event agree In the sword that Grant received from Lee. The warring eagles fold the wing, But not in Cæsar’s sway; Not Rome o’ercome by Roman arms we sing, As on Pharsalia’s day, But Treason thrown, though a giant grown, And Freedom’s larger play. All human tribes glad token see In the close of the wars of Grant and Lee. A Canticle: Significant of the national exaltation of enthusiasm at the close of the War. O the precipice Titanic Of the congregated Fall, And the angle oceanic Where the deepening thunders call-- And the Gorge so grim, And the firmamental rim!
