Excerpt from a Poem by an Alabama Confederate Soldier written in April 1864
"I am weary of war, of powder [and] ball
I am weary & sick of the glory & all...
Too much blood has already flowed like a river
Too many fond hearts have been parted forever
Too many farewells with tears have been spoken
Too many fond circles already been broken
Footsore and weary over paths steep and rough
We have fought, we have bled, we have suffered enough.
I am weary & sick of the glory & all...
Too much blood has already flowed like a river
Too many fond hearts have been parted forever
Too many farewells with tears have been spoken
Too many fond circles already been broken
Footsore and weary over paths steep and rough
We have fought, we have bled, we have suffered enough.
