[171] Vigil strange I kept on the field one night.  [71:125]  [81:156]

[172] Bathed in war’s perfume.  [71:164]

[173] A march in the ranks hard-prest, and the road unknown.  [71:126]  [81:157]

[174] Long, too long, O land.  [71:132]  [81:163]

[175] A sight in camp in the day-break grey and dim.  [71:127]  [81:158]

[184] The Veteran’s vision.  [71:136]  [81:168]

[185] O tan-faced Prairie-boy.  [71:138]  [81:173]

[186] Camps of green.  [71:198]  [81:285]

[187] As toilsome I wander’d Virginia’s woods.  [71:129]  [81:159]

[188] Hymn of dead soldiers.  [71:196]  [81:279]

[189] The ship.  [71:11]  [81:17]

[192] Old Ireland.  [71:161]  [81:194]

[193] Look down fair moon.  [71:139]  [81:174]

[194] Out of the rolling ocean, the crowd.  [71:24]  [81:33]

[195] World, take good notice.  [71:169]  [81:172]

[196] I saw old General at bay.  [71:137]  [81:167]

[197] Others may praise what they like.  [71:242]  [81:217]

[198] Solid, ironical, rolling orb.  [71:163]

[199] Hush’d be the camps to-day.  [71:203]  [81:187]

[200] Weave in, weave in, my hardy soul.  [71:155]  [81:267]

[201] Turn, O Libertad.  [71:152]  [81:183]

[202] Bivouac on a mountain side.  [71:122]  [81:152]

[203] Pensive on her dead gazing, I heard the mother of all.  [71:200]  [81:284]

[204] Not youth pertains to me.  [71:143]  [81:170]

SEQUEL TO DRUM-TAPS.

[205] When Lilacs last in the door-yard bloom’d.  [71:201]  [81:185]

[206] Race of Veterans.  [71:156]  [81:171]

[207] O Captain! my Captain!  [71:202]  [81:186]

[208] Spirit whose work is done.  [71:141]  [81:181]

[209] Chanting the Square Deific.  [71:207]  [81:237]

[210] I heard you, solemn sweet pipes of the Organ.  [71:31]  [81:40]

[211] Not my Enemies ever invade me.

[212] O me! O life!  [71:173]  [81:121]

[213] Ah poverties, wincings, and sulky retreats.  [71:98]  [81:264]

[214] As I lay with my head in your lap, Camerado.  [71:85]  [81:177]

[215] This day, O Soul.  [71:261]

[216] In clouds descending, in midnight sleep.  [71:197]  [81:271]

[217] An Army on the march.  [71:120]  [81:153]

[218] Dirge for Two Veterans.  [71:134]  [81:165]

[219] How solemn, as one by one.  [71:142]  [81:176]

[220] Lo! Victress on the Peaks!  [71:168]  [81:180]
