Events unfold. On Thursday added ground was won, A long bold steep: we near the Den. Later the foe came shouting down In sortie, which was quelled; and then We stormed them on their left. A chilly change in the afternoon; The sky, late clear, is now bereft Of sun. EVENTS UNFOLD ON THURSDAY ADDIED GROUND WAS WON A LONG BOLD STEEP WE NEAR THE DEN LATER THE FOE CAME SHOUTING DOWN AND SWORDY WHICH WAS QUELLED AND THEN WE STORMED THEM ON THEIR LEFT A CHILLY CHANGE IN THE AFTERNOON THE SKY LATE CLEAR IS NOW BEREFT OF SUN
ther Is clear and mild; ’tis much like May. The ancient boughs that lace together Along the stream, and hang far forth, Strange with green mistletoe, betray A dreamy contrast to the North. Our troops are full of spirits--say The siege won’t prove a creeping one. They purpose not the lingering stay Of old beleaguerers; not that way; But, full of _vim_ from Western prairies won, They’ll make, ere long, a dash at Donelson._ Washed by the storm till the paper grew Every shade of a streaky blue, That bulletin stood. The next day brought A second. LATER FROM THE FORT. _Grant’s investment is complete-- A semicircular one. Both wings the Cumberland’s margin meet, Then, backwkard curving, clasp the rebel seat. On Wednesday this good work was done; But of the doers some lie prone. Each wood, each hill, each glen was fought for; The bold inclosing line we wrought for Flamed with sharpshooters. Each cliff cost A limb or life. But back we forced Reserves and all; made good our hold; And so we rest.
