When I was small, a woman died.
To-day her only boy
Went up from the Potomac,
His face all victory,

 

To look at her; how slowly
The seasons must have turned
Till bullets clipt an angle,
And he passed quickly round!

 

If pride shall be in Paradise
I never can decide;
Of their imperial conduct,
No person testified.

 

But proud in apparition,
That woman and her boy
Pass back and forth before my brain,
As ever in the sky.
