Rides Mosby through green dark.

All spake of him, but few had seen

Except the maimed ones or the low;

Yet rumor made him every thing—

A farmer—woodman—refugee—

The man who crossed the field but now;

A spell about his life did cling—

Who to the ground shall Mosby bring?

The morning-bugles lonely play,

Lonely the evening-bugle calls—
