505 0 0 _aThe work of death --
_tSadly silent near the dead --
_tThey had heard the news of the battle --
_tTo think that you died alone --
_tVigil strange --
_tThey bear him gently home --
_tNot e'en the house of God was spared --
_tHome, home again! --
_tGod of the true-hearted --
_tBut God he keeps the middle way --
_tTo the plain where the blessed city lies --
_tIn glory sleep! --
_tLincoln is dead! --
_tPurchased with our Jackson's blood --
_tThy pale and perished flowers --
_tRightful order into ruin hurled --
_tThe glowing wonders of secession --
_tSince mercy fell by tyranny --
_tGaunt treason --
_tOn none dependent, sovereign, free --
_tThis broad domain that freedom craves --
_tThe thirsty lash, with sharp, steel-pointed thong --
_tThe festal march of iron --
_tMost glorious southern land --
_tMagical mesh, to entangle a world --
_tThe book of books we confidently quote --
_tAll Scripture is useful in its place --
_tYour father, boy, was eager --
_tShe gave a shriek and cried aloud --
_tTheir earthly paths no more shall sever.
520 0 _aDeeply affecting and diverse in perspective, The Poetry of the American Civil War is the first comprehensive volume to focus entirely on poetry written and published during the Civil War. Of the nearly one thousand books of poetry published in the 1860s, some two hundred addressed the war in some way, and these collectively present a textured portrait of life during the conflict. The poets represented here hail from the North and the South, and at times mirror each other uncannily. Among them are housewives, doctors, preachers, bankers, journalists, and teachers. Their verse reflects the day-to-day reality of war, death, and destruction, and it contemplates questions of faith, slavery, society, patriotism, and politics. This is an essential volume for poetry lovers, historians, and Civil War enthusiasts alike.
