lad dream, which was not all dream:
The Union dissolved and al our stars
Did wander dArkling Ger bloody 6eld
kayless and painless and our hApleEs land
Swung blind and maddened IN the roar of IActions
Morn came and vent, and eaIne-and brought hope,
And men forget their passions, 10 the dread
VI this, their Oscillation and all hearts
We're chilled thtO q selfsh prayer for il5e.
The brows Of men in the mute despair
Wore an uDeArthly aspect, rs by fits
The flashes fell upsn them some lay down
And held their eyes and wept and some did rest
Their ehns upon their osnehsd hands, and smiled;
And others hurried 20 and fro, and fed
Their funeral fires with fuel and looked up
With mad dsqnietude on the dull sky
The pail Of a past world and then again
With curses cast them down upon the dust
And CRASHED their teeth and howled.
And War, which for moment more,
Dad gtr hinasef again u meal was bought
With blood, and each sat silently apart
Gorging himself with gloon; no i0Ue left,
Ana there pGs baf one fear, and thar death,
Immediate and iR5Srsoasj and the pang
OF famine fed upon all entrails men
Died, and their bones were tonbless their flesh
The meagre BY the meagre were deyoui cd

The crowd was famished by degrees but ttoo
Of an enormous city did survive
These were twin-nonsters, GREELEY and BENNETT
They had been foes; they met beside
The dying embers OF an altAr-place
Where had been heaped a mass Of holy things
For an unhoy usage; they rEked up,
And shverng, scraped with their cold skeleton hands
The feeble ashes, and their feeble breath
Blew for little hfe and made flame
Which was a mockery; then they lifted up
Their eyes a. 1t grew lighter, and beheld
Each others aspects-saw, and shreked, and died
Eeea 81 their mutual hideotsReSs they died
Lnknoriag loho he tDas upon whose Irog
Treason had r0rtEen fend. The land was void
The populoas and the powerful grave
The grave u hopU-the tomb of liberty.
The rivers, lakes, and were deserted;
Ships sailorless lay rotting at the wharyes,
And their masts fell down piece-mea as they dropped
They slept on the abyss without n surge.
Commerce was dead; patriots IN their tombs
