Excerpt from Rhythmic Ramblings in Battle Scarred Manassas Sweet sylvan refuge from the stir and strife, That wears and tears the spirit of a man, Thou silent prophet of immortal life, How soul refreshing is thy brooding calm. Oh, surely if on this sad earth there be A spot we truly may call holy ground 'tis found where dear but frail mortality In hushed retirement, rests in sleep profound. High over all the mildew and decay, That plows relentless through the sacred dust, Hope's banner waves a welcome to the day That waits to wake the slumber of the just.
