Arms reversed and banners craped—

Muffled drums;

Snowy horses sable-draped—

McPherson comes.

But, tell us, shall we know him more,

Lost-Mountain and lone Kenesaw?

Brave the sword upon the pall—

A gleam in gloom;

So a bright name lighteth all

McPherson's doom.

Bear him through the chapel-door—

Let priest in stole

Pace before the warrior

Who led. Bell—toll!
