Excerpt from Poems, Vol. 2 Their thousands of boys of Sixty-three In their long, last eternal rest. Still, the march went on as their comrades yet Followed on through the camp and field, When the Old Flag led, While thousands more With life, their devotion sealed. Where are the Boys of Sixty-four? I see them as through the pine And the forest deep of the wilderness, They make up the Old blue line. Some are now no longer the beardless youth That started in sixty-one, But veterans bronzed by a southern sun And the hardships of fields hard won. With unfaltering step-s and determined hearts They're an army of strong young men, Save the thousands who sleep in a soldier's grave, Or are starved in a prison pen.
