Ethel Lynn Beers, Mrs. Ethelinda Elliot Beers (1879). “All Quiet Along the Potomac: And Other Poems”

Fall, Rivers, Forever
"The Picket-Guard" l. 41 (1861) See Remarque 1

All quiet along the Potomac they say Except now and then a stray picket Is shot as he walks on his beat, to and fro, By a rifleman hid in the thicket.

War, Quiet, Now And Then
