    Battle of Shiloh Church, 1862
    

• 
  "Shiloh, A Requiem" by Herman Melville

  SKIMMING lightly, wheeling still,

  
  The swallows fly low
  Over the fields in clouded days,
  The forest-field of Shiloh--
  Over the field where April rain
  Solaced the parched one stretched in pain
  Through the pause of night
  That followed the Sunday fight
  Around the church of Shiloh--
  The church so lone, the log-built one,
  That echoed to many a parting groan
  And natural prayer
  Of dying foemen mingled there--
  Foemen at morn, but friends at eve--
  Fame or country least their care:
  (What like a bullet can undeceive!)
  But now they lie low,
  While over them the swallows skim,
  And all is hushed at Shiloh.
