Bless God, he went as soldiers

by Emily Dickinson · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880

      His musket on his breast;

Grant, God, he charge the bravest

      Of all the martial blest.


Please God, might I behold him

      In epauletted white,

I should not fear the foe then,

      I should not fear the fight.
