All nature felt their coming, The birds like couriers flew, And the banners brightly blooming The slaves by thousands drew, And they marched beside the drumming, And they joined the armies blue. ALL NATURE FELT THEIR COMING THE BIRDS LIKE COURIERS FLEW AND THE BANNERS BRIGHTLY BLOOMING THE SLAVES BY THOUSANDS DREW AND THEY MARCHED BESIDE THE DRUMMING AND THEY JOINED THE ARMIES BLUE
heir own good bridges bore them Over swamps or torrents full, And the grand pines waving o’er them Bowed to axes keen and cool. The columns grooved their channels. Enforced their own decree, And their power met nothing larger Until it met the sea: It was glorious glad marching, A marching glad and free. Kilpatrick’s snare of riders In zigzags mazed the land, Perplexed the pale Southsiders With feints on every hand; Vague menace awed the hiders In forts beyond command. To Sherman’s shifting problem No foeman knew the key; But onward went the marching Unpausing to the sea: It was glorious glad marching, The swinging step was free. The flankers ranged like pigeons In clouds through field or wood; The flocks of all those regions, The herds and horses good, Poured in and swelled the legions, For they caught the marching mood. A volley ahead! They hear it; And they hear the repartee: Fighting was but frolic In that marching to the sea: It was glorious glad marching, A marching bold and free.  GNATS IMPEDE THE BULL THEIR OWN GOOD BRIDGES BORE THEM OVER SWAMPS OR TORRENTS FULL AND THE GRAND PINES WAVING O'ER THEM BOWED TO AXES KEEN AND COOL THE COLUMNS GROOVED THEIR CHANNELS ENFORCED THEIR OWN DECREE AND THEIR POWER MET NOTHING LARGER UNTIL IT MET THE SEA IT WAS GLORIOUS GLAD MARCHING A MARCHING GLAD AND FREE KILPATRICK'S SNARE OF RIDERS IN ZIGZAGS MAZED THE LAND PERPLEXED THE PALE SOUTH SIDERS WITH FAINTS ON EVERY HANDGUE MENACE O TO THE HIDERS AND FORTS BEYOND COMMAND TO SHERMAN'S SHIFTING PROBLEM NO FOEMEN KNEW THE KEY BUT ONWARD WENT THE MARCHING AND PAUSING TO THE SEA IT WAS GLORIOUS GLAD MARCHING THE SWINGING STEP WAS FREE THE FLANKERS RANGED LIKE PIGEONS IN CLOUDS THROUGH FIELD OR WOOD THE FLOCKS OF ALL THOSE REGIONS THE HERDS AND HORSES GOOD POURED IN AND SWELLED THE LEGIONS FOR THEY CAUGHT THE MARCHING MOOD A VOLLEY AHEAD THEY HEAR IT AND THEY HEAR THE REPARTEE FIGHTING WAS BUT FROLIC IN THAT MARCHING TO THE SEA IT WAS GLORIOUS GLAD MARCHING A MARCHING BOLD AND FREE
