Yes! I stood today upon the ridge, Where once the blue brigade was massed. And gazed upon the field below, Where once the charging columns passed. The sun was warm, the air was sweet, The living hush of silence fell. And all the hills were steeped in light, Where once the storm of battle fell. I saw the spectral armies blend In misty march upon the sky, And heard the phantom drums afar Like winds that sigh but never die. The ghosts of men who fell here, In the grim and terrible fray, Seemed to rise from out the soil, And point the way to Judgment Day. But now the fields are green and fair, And peace is in the heart of things. The guns are still, the flags are furled, And only Time his vigil keeps. ~ Edwin Markham

They spoke much more eloquently back in the day, didn't they.
