The Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution, Vol. 2 (of 2) / or, Illustrations, by Pen And Pencil, of the History, Biography, Scenery, Relics, and Traditions of the War for Independence

by Benson John Lossing

Each moment varies in the kindling light

To some new form of beauty—changing through

All shades and colors of the rainbow's hue,

'The last still loveliest,' till the gorgeous day

Melts in a flood of golden light away,

And all is o'er."

—Sarah Helen Whitman.
