In glades they meet skull after skull  
  Where pine cones lay-the rusted gun,  
  Green shoes full of bones,  
  the mouldering coat And cuddled up skeleton;  
  And scores of such.  
  Some start as in dreams,  
  And comrades lost bemoan;  
  By the edge of those wilds Stonewall had charged-  
  But the year and the Man were gone.
