Over and through the burial chant, + 

Organ and solemn service, sermon, bending priests, + 

To me come interpolation sounds not in the show⁠—plainly to me, crowding up the aisle and from the window, + 

Of sudden battle’s hurry and harsh noises⁠—war’s grim game to sight and ear in earnest; + 

The scout call’d up and forward⁠—the general mounted and his aids around him⁠—the new-brought word⁠—the instantaneous order issued; + 

The rifle crack⁠—the cannon thud⁠—the rushing forth of men from their tents; + 

The clank of cavalry⁠—the strange celerity of forming ranks⁠—the slender bugle note; + 

The sound of horses’ hoofs departing⁠—saddles, arms, accoutrements. + 
