“Up from the South at break of day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
Like a herald in haste, to the chieftain’s door,
The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.”
—Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–1872)

I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee.”
—Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1864)

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.”
