HARVEST Only the seasons and the years invade These quiet wheatfields where the Armies crashed. And mockingbirds and quail fly unafraid Within the forest where the rifles flashed. Here where the bladed wings of death have mown And gleaned their harvestry of golden lives, The fruitful seeds of corn and wheat are sown, And where the cannon smoked, an orchard thrives. Long are the war years over, with their pain, Their passionate tears and fury, and the sun Lies hot and yellow on the heavy grain, And all the fighting on these fields is done. But in their peace, the quivering heart recalls The youth that bled beside these old stone walls. —Agnes Kendrick Gray. _By Permission of the Author._ BIBLIOGRAPHY The principal source of data for this work is the “War of the Rebellion Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies.” The appended list of other sources has been made for those who wish to make an extended study.
