On yester morn in grayish mist, Armies like ghosts on hills had fought, And rolled from the cloud their thunders loud The Cumberlands far had caught: To day the sunlit steeps are sought. ON YESTER MORN IN GREYISH MIST ARMIES LIKE GHOSTS ON HILLS HAD FOUGHT AND ROLLED FROM THE CLOUD THEIR THUNDERS LOUD THE CUMBERLANDS FAR HAD CAUGHT TO DAY THE SUNLIGHT STEEPS ARE SOUGHT
thunders, And terrors, and a blight, Like Kaf the peak of Eblis-- Kaf, the evil height? Who has gone up with a shouting And a trumpet in the night? There is battle in the Mountain-- Might assaulteth Might; ’Tis the fastness of the Anarch, Torrent-torn, an ancient height; The crags resound the clangor Of the war of Wrong and Right; And the armies in the valley Watch and pray for dawning light. Joy, Joy, the day is breaking, And the cloud is rolled from sight; There is triumph in the Morning For the Anarch’s plunging flight; God has glorified the Mountain Where a Banner burneth bright, And the armies in the valley They are fortified in right. Chattanooga. (November, 1863.) A kindling impulse seized the host Inspired by heaven’s elastic air;[9] Their hearts outran their General’s plan, Though Grant commanded there-- Grant, who without reserve can dare; And, “Well, go on and do your will” He said, and measured the mountain then: So master-riders fling the rein-- But you must know your men.
