Woe for the homes of the North, And woe for the seats of the South; All who felt life's spring in prime, And were swept by the wind of their place and time   All lavish hearts, on whichever side, Of birth urbane or courage high, Armed them for the stirring wars   Armed them  some to die. WOE FOR THE HOMES OF THE NORTH AND WOE FOR THE SEATS OF THE SOUTH ALL WHO FELT LIFE SPRING IN PRIME AND WERE SWEPT BY THE WIND OF THEIR PLACE AND TIME ALL LAVISH HEARTS ON WHICHEVER SIDE OF BIRTH URBANE OR COURAGE HIGH ARMED THEM FOR THE STIRRING WARS ARMED THEM SOME TO DIE
Brave one! I here implore your hand; Dumb still? all fellowship fled? Nay, then, I’ll have this stubborn hand” He snatched it--it was dead. On the Slain Collegians.[20] Youth is the time when hearts are large, And stirring wars Appeal to the spirit which appeals in turn To the blade it draws. If woman incite, and duty show (Though made the mask of Cain), Or whether it be Truth’s sacred cause, Who can aloof remain That shares youth’s ardor, uncooled by the snow Of wisdom or sordid gain? The liberal arts and nurture sweet Which give his gentleness to man-- Train him to honor, lend him grace Through bright examples meet-- That culture which makes never wan With underminings deep, but holds The surface still, its fitting place, And so gives sunniness to the face And bravery to the heart; what troops Of generous boys in happiness thus bred-- Saturnians through life’s Tempe led, Went from the North and came from the South, With golden mottoes in the mouth, To lie down midway on a bloody bed.
