Funeral
Over and through the burial chant,
Organ and solemn service, sermon, bending
priests, To one comestealing-
^interpolation-
sounds not in the show—
plainly to meall through
athwart
^crowding up
the aisle
and ^from the window,sounding,
Of sudden battle's hurry and harsh noises—
war's, 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. Walt Whitman H.G. 156. [begin leaf 1 verso]
