Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required Leaving the War Behind for Elihu Burritt, peacemaker The cannon thundered in the South, And with the sound The carols drowned Of peace on earth, good-will to men! - H. W. Longfellow, “Christmas Bells” 1863, your old friend Longfellow almost despairing. What a year! The Union torn. Chancellorsville. War’s ravenous mouth. And then came Vicksburg, Gettysburg. The whole land lay in a bloody drouth, the cannon thundered in the South, and Elihu, you sailed away. For years you let the ink flow like a sea to float the cause of Peace. Yet you found no peace at home. Was it a personal surrender, to be England-bound? And with the sound of waves and seabirds, did you leave behind the burden of a homeland north to south a battleground? Could a foreign landscape comfort you? Or did war images confound – the carols drowned in military march-time in your head? As summer waned, the loss of Chickamauga. Brother killing brother in a marshy fen. Elihu, did you never quite give up the distant hope – oh where, and when? – of peace on earth, good-will to men?
