Tennesse, December 1864.
My heart lies in a cornfield,
He`ll never know the banshee scream
Where frozen feet did tramp through here
Yet here, my heart will always be
Neath stalks, that bend and sway.
The combine thunders high above,
But hears not what I say
That uttered from this place
Nor feel the pain of men who passed,
With ice, upon their face
As one last battle fought
For lack of food, and boots to wear,
Their plight, it was so fraught
Forever, and a day.
To lay with them, my brothers all,
With hearts, all clothed in gray.
