Pure youthful rolls -- snare - blast. .  . drums. . . Shiloh boy

...must pulverize StoneWall...Lee's fatal toy!

Gall'd arms emancipate...themselves, their own!?

Explain Nat martyr - Turner's sable woe;

Still Proclamation charms but Mare, ghost - moan,

beguiling arms hand Europe...vague ploy - foe,

Intriguing leaves, mass'd border'd slaves. . . unfree;

no Honored claim's ignoring Albion's needs...,

La Fleur-de-Lis  demands her Raiders be,

Expanse marine, agrarian plea, steamed sea!

Where abolitionism appears, North waves

New bann'r as Marseilles -- unites court - thoughts,

Bleeds "John Brown's Body" ...petrifying graves !

Subdue horrific carnal martyr - plots !

All Albion's breath endures support renew'd,

dove-rising leaves, ...wheat's amber'd sheaths, ...pursued.

Unite hail'd score, dear Howe, named ...Julia Ward;

Commemorate yore's troops, dead mart'rs of war;

tosh - bread! gross, sullied clothes..."elite" sham guard;

South Alabama's inherent schism - debts  mar...

Where diamonds dark removed the putrid fume

bleeds John Brown's corpse in Sabbath doom!

Your pennant reigns o'er tumultuous, freezing airs;

Afflictions, sable kin, no longer stew!

Potomac's pearls are ombré -- chainless cares,

fine matchless bounty, diamond - strong - juju;

As Shiloh, laving Sapphire shrouds of woe,

historic monuments subdue Mar's wrath,

Dinned voices -- Pottawatomie's charred show,

Galled mortal Steam...humane Ned Turner's path,

to John Mart'r Brown, ...corse-savage, Sabbaths' dooms !

Who liberates Hygeia's alms ? . . . Sable arms!

Whose jocund words remove gross putrid fumes ?

sly souvenirs of base hands shant garb charms !

Celestial Orbs, bright Phoebus' splend'r, ne'er feigns...

Pure rolls--cascade...snare-blast...drums...Shiloh boy,

...to decimate Stonewall, Lee's fatal toy!

 

A villanelle:

Richmond's ragin' blaze to Sea. . .

Bridges seethe as cauldrons pall. . .

Pearl's Potomac -- Peace must be !

Sherman's March -- Hades - mortar - flee...

Shenandoah's iron - cladding stall;

Richmond's ragin' blaze to Sea...

Wounds must heal! ...'Twas Barton's  plea !

Stand as Bull Run...ruins fall;

Pearl's Potomac -- Peace must be !

Shiloh, Yankee, strove to free...

'Rode to merely flamed Stonewall --

Richmond's ragin' blaze to Sea...

Dorothy Dix bears calv'ry. . . free!

Burn'd Savannah Lights that call --

Pearl's Potomac -- Peace must be!

Hailing Love unites no fee --

Pearls ombré seek not to thrall!

Richmond's ragin' blaze to Sea...

Pearl's Potomac -- Peace must be!

 

Revolve back, Rebel - Lee, our carnage-wake,

Though Europe honored once your claimed resign,

Your game defies, seceding lame, ...claims fake,

like Rapidan's lost, "Bloody Angle" - line...

You'll fall as ravage, savage, wicked Lee...

Dark voices flee in myst'ry; flailed airs cling

Like melancholic havoc, chasms dire flee!

that ebon-dread, infernal piers, pall'd ring;

You've born your own horrific vex'd demise;

All Mars reeks ravage, seething...Rights...no guise;

--Brave Union shant disarm on sea or land!

--but cowards, ...Rebel punk! You must disband!

Pure rolls -- drum scepters' native, Shiloh boy,

to snare, ...to raise Valhalla's swans, wars' toy....!

Pearls Ombré, cleave block - diamonds, Stuart's wall!

No schisms! Lee's Arms, Virginia North, shant thrall!

When Lee, from Fredericksburg to Richmond, tires;

Refit defeatless, dazed Stuart, bold, those troops!

Raves battles' formidable impasse..., -pyres,

...Marked Murfreesboro behind yore's Slop-sloops;

Stones River, Rebels heedless mind -  pontoon;

Defy tosh Mare with heedless graves, schism - play?!

As Marye's Heights... debase North plights too soon

...Cry, Burnside ! Blitz-blithe tries ne'er win their slay;

Lee shant defeat! ...unite these grounds!  Endure!

But carnage born by Southern hands' ...foul troops!

North breathes one Fortress, Lee-Monroe - loop - lure;

Besiege, hang Lee! ...bold Forest, ...Bedford Scoops

-- your wins, but fleeting buoyance, Fury's laugh!

-- Grant's Court -- Potomac, one Appotomax staff...

Surrender'd Lee, uniting Union Liberty,

where pyres did form to Valkyries' glide like swan;

Sunbursting beam'd form -- cosmic mindful bounty;

...Alighting arms to crown ray'd seeds by dawn...
