Chapter XIX.
COLD HARBOR.

Ah me! I see it all again,

The frenzied battle’s formless form,

The reeling field, alive with men,

The thunderous flashes through the storm!

The rifle’s crack, the hiss, the thud;

The sizz of the on-hurtling shell;

The dying cry; the trickling blood—

The sights, the sounds we knew too well.
