[17] Suggested By The Two Days' Review At Washington (May, 1865.) The Abrahamic River - Patriarch Of Floods, Calls The Roll Of All His Streams And Watery Mutitudes: Torrent Cries To Torrent, The Rapids Hail The Fall; With Shouts The Inland Freshets Gather To The Call. The Quotas Of The Nation, Like The Water-Shed Of Waves, Muster Into Union - Eastern Warriors, Western Braves. Martial Strains Are Mingling, Though Distant Far The Bands, And The Wheeling Of The Squadrons Is Like Surf Upon The Sands. The Bladed Guns Are Gleaming - Drift In Lengthened Trim, Files On Files For Hazy Miles - Nebulously Dim. O Milky Way Of Armies - Star Rising After Star, New Banners Of The Commonwealths, And Eagles Of The War. The Abrahamic River To Sea-Wide Fullness Fed, Pouring From The Thaw-Lands By The God Of Floods Is Led: His Deep Enforcing Current The Streams Of Ocean Own, And Europe'S Marge Is Evened By Rills From Kansas Lone. 17. According To A Report Of The Secretary Of War, There Were On The First Day Of March, 1865, 965,000 Men On The Army Pay-Rolls.
