To rest his deadly rifle when it wasn't seeking gore;

Drum-taps
Aroused and angry,

But soon my fingers fail'd me, my face droop'd, and I resign'd myself,
To sit by the wounded and soothe them, or silently watch the dead.

The Song Of The Wage-slave
When the long, long day is over, and the Big Boss gives me my pay,
I hope that it won't be hell-fire, as some of the parsons say.

All I want is just quiet, just to rest and forget.

What are the wild waves saying now that their lengths are changed?
