I look up to her, and I know That years may come and years may go, And life may ebb and life may flow; Yet still above the sweep and surge Of pain and passion that doth urge The hot time upon horror's verge,

She will behold The Hand displayed; She will stand ever undismayed: - Wherefore my heart is not afraid.

Richard Realf In the Trenches at the Front Opposite Marietta, Georgia July 2, 1864
