AS through the mists we looked-and dreamed
How far-how far away it seemed
over There;
The red flash of their cannon fire
The flame that lit some reeng spire-
The mighty thunder of their guns
Which sang the Master Song of DEATH
The ghosts which met dawn's rising suns
And drifted out April's breath
Beyond dull sweeps of sky and sea-
How far away it seemed to be!
How far away it seemed--and then
We woI<e-and turned-and looked again
And nowhere flames of crimson rise
How close to us-how near it lies

The red flash of their cannon shines
Upon the steel that arms lines
The mighty thunder seems to be

Where Fate has turned ancient sea
To something less than half a span;
Far sweeps of sky and sea gone
Where forming, storming lines rush on,
Waiting the day ahead, until
