Glory

:01:54

I hope you are keeping well
and not worrying too much about me:

:01:58

You mustn´t think
any of us are gonna be killed:

:02:01

For they´re collecting such a force
here that an attack would be insane:

:02:06

The Massachusetts men
passed through this morning:

:02:09

How grand it is to meet the men
from all the states:::

:02:12

:::ready to fight for their country:::

:02:15

:::as the old fellows did
in the Revolution:

:02:18

But this time we must make it
a whole country:::

:02:21

::: for all who live here,
so that all can speak:

:02:27

Before this war began:::

:02:29

:::many of my regiment
had never seen a Negro:

:02:32

But now the roads are choked
with the dispossessed:

:02:37

We fight for men and women
whose poetry is not yet written:::

:02:41

:::but which will presently be
as enviable and as renowned as any:

:02:47

Last night we heard
of yet another defeat:::

:02:50

:::but we are not disheartened:

:02:52

I am honoured to be part
of such a splendid company:

:02:55

They have made me captain,
of which I am enormously proud:

:02:59

You would think it strange
to see me giving orders to 100 men:::
