¶Lyrics / Text

Skimming lightly, wheeling still, The swallows fly low Over the field in clouded days, The forest-field of Shiloh-- Over the field where April rain Solaced the parched one stretched in pain Through the pause of night That followed the Sunday fight Around the church of Shiloh-- The church so lone, the log-built one, That echoed to many a parting groan And natural prayer Of dying foemen mingled there-- Foemen at morn, but friends at eve-- Fame or country least their care; (What like a bullet can undeceive!) But now they lie low, While over them the swallows skim, And all is hushed at Shiloh. --Herman Melville, 1866
