Lover he lived to learn,
By no endeavor
Can a magnet ever
Attract a Silver Churn!”

Or the winding rivers be red:
They banish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead!
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day:—
Love and tears for the Blue;
Tears and love for the Gray.”
—Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907)

To draw up leaf from the root?
Hast ‘ou found a cloud so light
As seemed neither mist nor shade?”
