Appeal to the sympathies causing one to grieve,
On account of being powerless the victims to relieve,
A quiet look at the faces of the dead
Fills ones soul with horror and dread.
CHAPTER XI.
FOURTEENTH REGIMENT NORTH CAROLINA
INFANTRY AND GENERAL OFFICERS
OF THE ARMY OF NORTHERN VA.
Fourteenth N. C. Regiment.—
The beginning of the war was to some a surprise,
But the old Fourteenth at once organized;
The regiment marched to the front along with the first.
And was on the front line when shells began to burst.
