Stonewall Jackson

Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees
for surely by waiting we shall see no time gained greater than these

For surely by not waiting we shall see 
no time gained greater to us than these

Pagodas temples and soft music greet us there
oh how soft the rain on my face mistaken tears 

Expression no longer a protest our bones shall not last
things dropped into the ocean will and must sink to their rest
