Look Down Fair Moon.

Part of the cluster DRUM-TAPS.

LOOK DOWN FAIR MOON.

LOOK down, fair moon, and bathe this scene; Pour softly down night's nimbus floods, on faces ghast- 
 ly, swollen, purple; On the dead, on their backs, with their arms toss'd  
 wide, Pour down your unstinted nimbus, sacred moon.

Part of the cluster DRUM-TAPS.
