WHILE NOT THE PAST FORGETTING.
While not the past forgetting, |
To-day, at least, contention sunk entire—peace, brotherhood up-
risen;
|
For sign reciprocal our Northern, Southern hands, |
Lay on the graves of all dead soldiers, North or South, |
(Nor for the past alone—for meanings to the future,) |
Wreaths of roses and branches of palm. |
Publish'd May 30, 1888.
