Excerpt from The Great Remembrance, and Other Poems

So long ago it seems, so long ago, Behold, our sons, grown men since those great days, Bom Since the last clear bugle ceased to blow Its summons down the valley; Since the bays Shook with the roar of fort and answering fleet, Our very children look into our eyes And find strange records, with a mute surprise, As they some curious traveler might greet Who kept far countries in his musing mind, Beyond the weltering seas, the mountain-walls behind. And yet it was this land, and not another, Where blazed war's flames and rolled the battle-cloud. In all this land there was no home where brother, Father, or son hurried not forth; where bowed N o broken-hearted woman when pale Death Laid his cold finger on the loved one's breath.

Like -to a drama did the scene unroll, Some dark, majestic drama of the soul, Wherein all strove as actors, hour by hour, Yet breathless watched the whole swift, tragic Faithful did each his little part essay.
