Wilson Small, June \u2013.<\/p>\n

This morning I have your Sunday note with the charming little poem. Who wrote it? Be sure and tell me. It is<\/em> a poem, and though entirely undeserved, I value it very much indeed.<\/p>\n

[Poem by a Lieutenant of the 16th N. Y., dedicated to Eliza Woolsey Howland]<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
To Mrs. Joseph Howland.<\/span><\/div>\n
________<\/div>\n
From old Saint Paul till now,<\/span><\/div>\n
Of honorable women not a few<\/span><\/div>\n
Have quit their golden ease, in love to do<\/span><\/div>\n
The saintly works that Christ-like hearts pursue.<\/span><\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Such an one art thou, God’s fair apostle,<\/span><\/div>\n
Bearing His love in war’s horrific train;<\/span><\/div>\n
Thy blessed feet follow its ghastly pain<\/span><\/div>\n
And misery and death, without disdain.<\/span><\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
To one borne from the sullen battle’s roar,<\/span><\/div>\n
Dearer the greeting of thy gentle eyes,<\/span><\/div>\n
When he aweary, torn and bleeding lies,<\/span><\/div>\n
Than all the glory that the victors prize.<\/span><\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
When peace shall come, and homes shall smile again,<\/span><\/div>\n
Ten thousand soldier hearts, in Northern climes,<\/span><\/div>\n
Shall tell their little children, with their rhymes,<\/span><\/div>\n
Of the sweet saint who blessed the old war times..<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
