Before our lines it seemed a beach Which wild September gales have strown With havoc on wreck, and dashed therewith Pale crews unknown   Men, arms, and steeds. The evening sun Died on the face of each lifeless one, And died along the winding marge of fight And searching parties lone. BEFORE OR LIONS IT SEEMED THE BEACH WHICH WILD SEPTEMBER GALES HAVE STROWN WITH HAVOC ON WRECK AND DASHED THEREWITH PALE CREWS UNKNOWN MEN ARMS AND STEEDS THE EVENING SUN DIED ON THE FACE OF EACH LIFELESS ONE AND DIED ALONG THE WINDING MARCH OF FIGHT AND SEARCHING PARTIES LONE
dhood’s laughing brow to grace-- Not his was a goldsmith’s star. O, much of doubt in after days Shall cling, as now, to the war; Of the right and the wrong they’ll still debate, Puzzled by Stonewall’s star: “Fortune went with the North elate” “Ay, but the south had Stonewall’s weight, And he fell in the South’s vain war.” Gettysburg. The Check. (July, 1863.) O pride of the days in prime of the months Now trebled in great renown, When before the ark of our holy cause Fell Dagon down-- Dagon foredoomed, who, armed and targed, Never his impious heart enlarged Beyond that hour; god walled his power, And there the last invader charged. He charged, and in that charge condensed His all of hate and all of fire; He sought to blast us in his scorn, And wither us in his ire. Before him went the shriek of shells-- Aerial screamings, taunts and yells; Then the three waves in flashed advance Surged, but were met, and back they set: Pride was repelled by sterner pride, And Right is a strong-hold yet.
