To fight aloud, is very brave by Emily Dickinson
To fight aloud, is very brave -- But gallanter, I know Who charge within the bosom The Cavalry of Woe --
Who win, and nations do not see -- Who fall -- and none observe -- Whose dying eyes, no Country Regards with patriot love --
We trust, in plumed procession For such, the Angels go -- Rank after Rank, with even feet -- And Uniforms of Snow.
