“Until, on Vinegar Hill, the fatal conclave.
Terraced thousands died, shaking scythes at cannon.
The hillside blushed, soaked in our broken wave.
They buried us without shroud or coffin
And in August the barley grew up out of the grave.”

“Then they seen it, the old Missouri River shinin’ in the moon and across it the lights of St. Louis.”
