A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

John Burns of Gettysburg. Were bullets buzzing among the trees. But all such fanciful thoughts as these Were strange to a practical man like Burns, Who minded only his own concerns, Troubled no more by fancies fine Than one of his calm-eyed, long-tailed, kine,- Quite old-fashioned and matter-of-fact, Slow to argue, but quick to act That was the reason, as some folk say, He fought so well on that terrible day. And it was terrible. On the right Raged for hours the heady fight, Thundered the batterys double bass, Difficult music for men to face; While on the left where now the graves Undulate like the living waves That all that day unceasing swept Up to the pits the rebels kept Round shot ploughed the upland glades, Sown with bullets, reaped with blades; Shattered fences here and there Tossed their splinters in the air; The very trees were stripped and bare ;T he barns that once held yellow grain Were heaped with harvests of the slain ;T he cattle bellowed on the plain, The turkeys screamed with might and main, And brooding barn-fowl left their rest With strange shells bursting in each nest.
