  "But who shall break the guards that wait
  
  Before the awful face of Fate?
  
  The tattered standards of the South
  
  Were shriveled at the cannon's mouth,
  
  And all her hopes were desolate.
  
  In vain the Tennessean set
  
  His breast against the bayonet;
  
  In vain Virginia charged and raged,
  
  A tigress in her wrath uncaged,
  
  Till all the hill was red and wet!
  
  Above the bayonets, mixed and crossed,
  
  Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost
  
  Receding through the battle-cloud,
  
  And heard across the tempset loud
  
  The death-cry of a nation lost!"
  
  
  
  (Will Henry Thompson)
