Frederic Parker Poet Verse

None Forgave

won't retreat                        
                                    some with shoes, some bare feet
                               the last bridge to Manassas we'll find

                as tired soldiers struggle through night's cold darkness blind
                             after burying dead in shallow pits behind
                              silence moves forward, our souls to save

                                      this bridge shall  find our grave
                                                 none forgave
