We felt the dew, and seemed to feel The secret like a burden laid. The first boat melts; and a second keel Is blent with the foliaged shade   Their midnight rounds have the rebel officers made? WE FELT THE DEW AND SEEMED TO FEEL THE SECRET LIKE A BURDEN LAID THE FIRST BOAT MELTS AND A SECOND KEEL IS BLENT WITH THE FOLIAGED SHADE THEIR MIDNIGHT ROUNDS HAVE THE REBEL OFFICERS MADE
e. Do North and South the sin retain Of Yorkist and Lancastrian? But Rosecrans in the cedarn glade, And, deep in denser cypress gloom, Dark Breckenridge, shall fade away Or thinly loom. The pale throngs who in forest cowed Before the spell of battle’s pause, Forefelt the stillness that shall dwell On them and on their wars. North and South shall join the train Of Yorkist and Lancastrian. But where the sword has plunged so deep, And then been turned within the wound By deadly Hate; where Climes contend On vasty ground-- No warning Alps or seas between, And small the curb of creed or law, And blood is quick, and quick the brain; Shall North and South their rage deplore, And reunited thrive amain Like Yorkist and Lancastrian? Running the Batteries, As observed from the Anchorage above Vicksburgh. (April, 1863.) A moonless night--a friendly one; A haze dimmed the shadowy shore As the first lampless boat slid silent on; Hist! and we spake no more; We but pointed, and stilly, to what we saw.
