Cornflowers fringe the edge of the North Woods (no trees remain, just golden wheat).
Hooker's men died here, trying to breach the rebel's northern flank.
Maryland soil stained with Pennsylvania blood (trees splintered, leaves wet).
South Mountain shrouded in haze, hailstorm of shells, bullets.
Sweet September day, when brother fought brother.
All beauties of field and forest swallowed by the crimson question:
is the cause worthy?
