All human tribes glad token see In the close of the wars of Grant and Lee. ALL HUMAN TRIBES GLAD TOKEN SEE IN THE CLOSE OF THE WARS OF CRENT AND LE
and woeful wars, And armies in the grave; But hearts unquelled at last deter The helmed dilated Lucifer-- Honor to Grant the brave, Whose three stars now like Orion’s rise When wreck is on the wave-- _Bless his glaive._ Well that the faith we firmly kept, And never our aim forswore For the Terrors that trooped from each 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.
