Matthews - Poems of American Patriotism |
|
Although love cause me to sigh,
I'll not
complain
of a thing;
For the noblest, I choose to die,
Though evil for good may sting,
So long as she consents that I
Hope, mercy she yet may bring,
Whatever suffering I may buy,
I'll not claim for anything.

Lascelles Abercrombie - Emblems of Love |
|
Yea, Death, we bow our faces, veil our eyes to thee,
We mourn the old, the young untimely drawn to thee,
The fair, the strong, the good, the capable,
The household wreck'd, the husband and the wife, the engulfed forger
in his forge,
The corpses in the
whelming
waters and the mud,
The gather'd thousands to their funeral mounds, and thousands never
found or gather'd.
