These in the robings of glory, Those in the gloom of defeat, All with the battle-blood gory, In the dusk of eternity meet;- Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment-day;- Under the laurel the Blue, Under the willow, the Gray. (Francis Miles Finch)

These in the robings of glory, Those in the gloom of defeat, All with the battle-blood gory, In the dusk of eternity meet;- Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment-day;- Under the laurel the Blue, Under the willow, the Gray.
