Shakespeare - Sonnets |

The sad, lone stream its
noiseless
tread
Spread o'er the glistening pebbles:
All silent now the Yankees stood;
All silent stood the Rebels:
For each responsive soul had heard
That plaintive note's appealing,
So deeply "Home, Sweet Home" had stirred
The hidden founts of feeling.

superfluous
cold,
I would as soon attempt to warm
The bosoms where the frost has lain
Ages beneath the mould.

And I rest so composedly,
Now, in my bed,
That any beholder
Might fancy me dead--
Might start at
beholding
me,
Thinking me dead.
