| We are coming, Father Abraham, Six hundred thousand more, From Mississippi's winding stream, And from New England's shore. We leave our ploughs and workshops, Our wives and children dear, |
With hearts too full for utterance, With but a silent tear. We will not look behind us But steadfastly before. We are coming, Father Abraham, six hundred thousand more! |
| -- poem printed on the envelope of a Civil War soldier's letter to his parents | |
