That lay along a hill-side green,
Bivouacked. Fires were made, and then
Coffee was boiled; a cow was coaxed
And killed, and savory roasts were seen;
And under the lee of a cattle-pen
The guard supped freely with Mosby’s men.
The ball was bandied to and fro;
Hits were given and hits were met;
“Chickamauga, Feds—take off your hat”
“But the Fight in the Clouds repaid you, Rebs”
