O’ernight ‘twixt mullein stalks a wheel of thread
And straining cables wet with silver dew.”

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)

a leaf falls in
without a sound”
