An Italian Sonnet

My brother fell here in her bloody lane
I buried him under the cornfield’s ground
The dusty moonlight revealed the new mound
for honor we came but war is not sane

I lay in my heart a prayer for mother.
The lives and laughter of her sons soon gone
She will turn from the truth when this is done,
haunted by dreams of me and my brother.
 
With one charge left this failing Southern son
 today will take the little still inside.
The Lord’s sweet grace and eternal freedom
will be given me in the rising sun.
To this grave in fields of blue I take my pride
a stone's throw away. --Battle of Antietam.
