[383] Lo! beyond their brave array
Freedom's august dawn appears:
Thus we said: “The brighter day
Breaks above that line of gray.” —
Where are they these many years?

All our hearts went with them there,
All our love, and all our prayers;
What of them? How do they fare,
They who went to do and dare,
And are gone so many years?

What of them who went away
Followed by our hopes and fears?
Braver never marched than they,
Closer ranks to fiercer fray.—
Where are they these many years?

Richmond, VA. 1897.
