But now they lie low, While over them the swallows skim, And all is hushed at Shiloh. BUT NOW THEY LIE LOW WHILE OVER THEM THE SWALLOWS SKIM AND ALL IS HUSHED AT SHILOH
ivot, and screw, And calculations of caloric. Needless to dwell; the story’s known. the ringing of those plates on plates Still ringeth round the world-- The clangor of that blacksmith’s fray. The anvil-din Resounds this message from the Fates: War shall yet be, and to the end; But war-paint shows the streaks of weather; War yet shall be, but warriors Are now but operatives; War’s made Less grand than Peace, And a singe runs through lace and feather. Shiloh. A Requiem. (April, 1862.) Skimming lightly, wheeling still, The swallows fly low Over the field in clouded days, The forest-field of Shiloh-- Over the field where April rain Solaced the parched ones stretched in pain Through the pause of night That followed the Sunday fight Around the church of Shiloh-- The church so lone, the log-built one, That echoed to many a parting groan And natural prayer Of dying foemen mingled there-- Foemen at morn, but friends at eve-- Fame or country least their care: (What like a bullet can undeceive!)
