Four years of war, shedding of blood
Too many red rivers in flood
Four years tearing ourselves apart
A great gaping wound to our heart
Four years of hearing cannons roar
Now we will hear them roar no more
Four years of sound and fury ring
Now our ears can hear the birds sing
Too many red rivers in flood
Four years tearing ourselves apart
A great gaping wound to our heart
Four years of hearing cannons roar
Now we will hear them roar no more
Four years of sound and fury ring
Now our ears can hear the birds sing

In two days' time 149 years will have passed since America's reunification began with the surrender of Lee to Grant at Appomattox. I visited there several years ago and couldn't help but contrast those four years of sound and fury with the singing of the birds on the spring day of my visit.

Scansion on the last line's a bit rough, too many syllables. Otherwise, quite good, and touching.
