    "I cannot bear it!" said the pewter soldier. "I have shed pewter
    tears! It is too melancholy! Rather let me go to the wars and
    lose arms and legs! It would at least be a change. I cannot
    bear it longer! Now, I know what it is to have a visit from
    one's old thoughts, with what they may bring with them! I have
    had a visit from mine, and you may be sure it is no pleasant
    thing in the end; I was at last about to jump down from the
    drawers."

You led our sons across the haunted flood,
Into the Canaan of their high desire--
No milk and honey there, but tears and blood
Flowed where the hosts of evil trod in fire,
And left a worse than desert where they passed.
