Ah, hills and slopes of Brooklyn! I perceive you are more valuable

than your owners supposed;

In the midst of you stands an encampment very old,

Stands forever the camp of that dead brigade.

CAVALRY CROSSING A FORD

A line in long array where they wind betwixt green islands,

They take a serpentine course, their arms flash in the sun—hark

to the musical clank,

Behold the silvery river, in it the splashing horses loitering stop to

drink,

Behold the brown-faced men, each group, each person a picture,

the negligent rest on the saddles,

Some emerge on the opposite bank, others are just entering the

ford—while,

Scarlet and blue and snowy white,

The guidon flags flutter gayly in the wind.
