November	A
	-
	-
A kindling impulse seized the host	B
Inspired by heaven's elastic air	C
Their hearts outran their General's plan	D
Though Grant commanded there	C
Grant who without reserve can dare	C
And Well go on and do your will	E
He said and measured the mountain then	F
So master riders fling the rein	G
But you must know your men	F
	-
On yester morn in grayish mist	H
Armies like ghosts on hills had fought	I
And rolled from the cloud their thunders loud	J
The Cumberlands far had caught	K
To day the sunlit steeps are sought	I
Grant stood on cliffs whence all was plain	G
And smoked as one who feels no cares	L
But mastered nervousness intense	M
Alone such calmness wears	L
	-
The summit cannon plunge their flame	N
Sheer down the primal wall	O
But up and up each linking troop	P
In stretching festoons crawl	O
Nor fire a shot Such men appall	O
The foe though brave He from the brink	Q
Looks far along the breadth of slope	R
And sees two miles of dark dots creep	S
And knows they mean the cope	R
	-
He sees them creep Yet here and there	C
Half hid 'mid leafless groves they go	T
As men who ply through traceries high	U
Of turreted marbles show	T
So dwindle these to eyes below	T
But fronting shot and flanking shell	V
Sliver and rive the inwoven ways	W
High tops of oaks and high hearts fall	O
But never the climbing stays	W
	-
From right to left from left to right	X
They roll the rallying cheer	Y
Vie with each other brother with brother	A
Who shall the first appear	Y
What color bearer with colors clear	Y
In sharp relief like sky drawn Grant	Z
Whose cigar must now be near the stump	A2
While in solicitude his back	B2
Heaps slowly to a hump	A2
	-
Near and more near till now the flags	C2
Run like a catching flame	N
And one flares highest to peril nighest	Z
He means to make a name	N
Salvos they give him his fame	N
The staff is caught and next the rush	D2
And then the leap where death has led	Z
Flag answered flag along the crest	Z
And swarms of rebels fled	Z
	-
But some who gained the envied Alp	A2
And eager ardent earnest there	C
Dropped into Death's wide open arms	E2
Quelled on the wing like eagles struck in	F2
air	C
Forever they slumber young and fair	C
The smile upon them as they died	Z
Their end attained that end a height	Z
Life was to these a dream fulfilled	Z
And death a starry night	Z
