132 For behind they left a wailing,

A terror and a ban,

And blazing cinders sailing,

And houseless households wan,

Wide zones of counties paling,

And towns where maniacs ran.

Was it Treason's retribution—

Necessity the plea?

They will long remember Sherman

And his streaming columns free—

They will long remember Sherman

Marching to the sea.
