VIII.
But hush ! the sound of rustling strange Is heard amid the brusli-wood thick !
And now and then to picket's ear Comes noise of crackling leaf and stick !
IX.
And see ! along yon hillside rough, What spectral figures dimly glide, As if a dusky spirit-band From mortal vision sought to hide ?
X.
*' Who's there?" the sentinel shouts out.
" Who's there ? " again he startled cries.
But in the dark and disma] wood, His challenge only fades and dies.
XI.
Again he starts, he stops, he shouts, " Wh...o's there ? advance and give the sign !
" Halt ! and if friend, pass on to camp !
"If foe, be thou a prisoner mine!" Sheridan and the Shenandoah. 45 XII.
Still all is hushed, no sound comes back, No voice is heard fi-oni bush or brake Of man, or bird, or beast, and naught Save what a slumbering world might make.
XIII.
Thus, as the night's slow vigils sped.
The Union army lay at rest, As safe, it thought, as weary child When fondled on its mother's breast, XIV.
But, fatal sleep to some who ne'er Exultingiy would wake to see Those conquering colors borne aloft, The signal of new victory.
