  • In glades they meet skull after skull
    Where pine cones lay-the rusted gun,
    Green shoes full of bones,
    the mouldering coat And cuddled up skeleton;
    And scores of such.
    Some start as in dreams,
    And comrades lost bemoan;
    By the edge of those wilds Stonewall had charged-
    But the year and the Man were gone.
