_ They lead a Gray back to the crag: "Your earth works yonder  tell us, man" "A prisoner  no deserter, I, Nor one of the tell tale clan" His rags they mark: "True blue like you Should wear the color  your Country's, man" He grinds his teeth: "However that be, Yon earth works have their plan."

 Forever they slumber young and fair, The smile upon them as they died; Their end attained, that end a height: Life was to these a dream fulfilled, And death a starry night. The Armies of the Wilderness. (1683-64.) I Like snows the camps on southern hills Lay all the winter long, Our levies there in patience stood-- They stood in patience strong. On fronting slopes gleamed other camps Where faith as firmly clung: Ah, froward king! so brave miss-- The zealots of the Wrong. _In this strife of brothers (God, hear their country call), However it be, whatever betide, Let not the just one fall._ Through the pointed glass our soldiers saw The base-ball bounding sent; They could have joined them in their sport But for the vale’s deep rent. And others turned the reddish soil, Like diggers of graves they bent: The reddish soil and tranching toil Begat presentiment. _Did the Fathers feel mistrust? Can no final good be wrought? Over and over, again and again Must the fight for the Right be fought?
