24. the Captain's wife. by Theodore Tilton. My sister Blanche, her child, and I, were on the lawn that morning. “Oh! could a wife's strong love,” she sighed, “ward off a soldier's fate!” Her voice a little trembled then, as if through some forewarning; When up the lane a soldier rode, and halted at the gate. “Which house is Malcolm Blake's?” he cried: “a letter for his sister!” Blanche, murmuring as I took it, asked--“And none for me, his wife?” The stranger fondled Madge's curls, and, stooping over, kissed her: “Your father was my captain, child!--I loved him as my life.” Then suddenly he galloped off, without a word more spoken. I burst the seal, and Blanche cried out, “What makes you tremble so?” O God! how could I answer her? How should the news be broken?

44. A war hymn. by Theodore Tilton. Thou who ordainest, for the land's salvation, Famine and fire, and sword and lamentation, Now unto Thee we lift our supplication-- God save the Nation! By the great sign, foretold, of thy appearing-- Coming in clouds, while mortal men stand fearing-- Show us, amid this smoke of battle clearing, Thy chariot nearing! By the brave blood that floweth like a river, Hurl thou a thunderbolt from out thy quiver! Break thou the strong gates! Every fetter shiver! Smite and deliver! Slay thou our foes, or turn them to derision, Till, through the blood-red Valley of Decision, Peace on our fields shine, like a prophet's vision, Green and elysian!
