Excerpt from My Three Loves: The Poems of Beverley Dandridge Tucker
In Camp and Field
Robert E. Lee
Salutamus, O Leader, long lost,
And passed from our vision and ken,
Tho' thine arms on thy bosom be crossed,
We call us thy men.
And we list for the word of command
That leaped from the lips that are mute.
Tho' it come not, yet loyal, we stand
And give thee salute.
Thou art passed, Commander, where ne'er
Is heed of the praise and the blame,
Yet resistless outrings the loud cheer
At sound of thy name.
Ah, the face and the form we knew well
Are lost in the chasm of years!
But our love has a pow'r to dispel
The mist of our tears.
And thy glory shall lighten through time
The vistas of duty, and then -
We shall know that our hero sublime
Still leadeth his men.
