~ Taps ~

Day is done
Gone the sun
From the lakes
From the hills
From the sky
All is well
Safely rest
God is nigh

Fading light
Dims the sight
And a star
Gems the sky
Gleaming bright
From afar
Drawing nigh
Falls the night
Then good night
peaceful night

'Till the light
of the dawn
Shineth bright
God is near
Do not fear
Friend, goodnight

"Future years will never know the seething hell and the black infernal background, the countless minor scenes and interiors of the secession war; and it is best they should not. The real war will never get in the books."
~Walt Whitman
