Good Civil War poem with a youth theme:
What is a Year?
What is a year? “Tis but a wave
On life’s dark rolling stream,
Which is so quickly gone that we
Account it but a dream
Tis but a singles earnest throb
Of Time’s old iron heart,
Which tireless now, and strong as when
It first with life did start.
What is a year? “Tis but a turn
Of Time’s old brazen wheel,
Or but a page upon the book
Which death must shortly seal
‘Tis but a step upon the road
Which we must travel o’er
A few more steps and we shall walk
Life’s weary road no more.
What is a year? ‘Tis but a breath
From Time’s old nostrils blown,
As rushing onward o’er the earth
We hear his weary moan.
“Tis like the bubble on the wave,
Or dew upon the lawn
As transient as the mists of morn
Beneath the summer sun.
What is a year ‘Tis but a type
Of life’s oft changing scene;
Youth’s happy morn comes gaily on
With hills and valleys green
Next, Summer’s prime succeeds the Spring
Then Autumn with a tear
Then comes old Winter death, and all
Must find their level here.

Yes, The local Libary: THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE, this book is about the Civil War-- Also the poem by Earl Bliss;
To war to war they go, to die hero's before the foe, to give blood, life and soul, Yes off to war they go, take a life and loose a soul, It's off to war they go. To blood and glory they go, why they die do they really know, It's off to war they go.
Earl died at the second battle of BULL RUN, He was a great reative of mine and this is from his Diary.

Yeah, you do it. You have to do some bit of your homework there once was someone who did not do their homework assigned like they were supposed to i cradled my gun and the bullets, they flew vital brain matter and organs on the ground all aspew so if you'd be wise and starting hurrying along you'll realize that this type of fraud is just wrong as wrong as sucking back drugs through the bong abling ablong, you must now sing this as a song
