| [00:04.753] | "ALL quiet along the Potomac to-night!" |
| [00:09.231] | Except here and there a stray picket |
| [00:13.713] | Is shot, as he walks on his beat, to and fro, |
| [00:18.471] | By a rifleman hid in the thicket. |
| [00:22.954] | 'Tis nothing! a private or two, now and then, |
| [00:27.426] | Will not count in the news of the battle; |
| [00:31.906] | Not an officer lost, only one of the men, |
| [00:37.511] | Moaning out, all alone, the death rattle. |
| [00:42.267] | All quiet along the Potomac to-night! |
| [00:54.034] | "ALL quiet along the Potomac to-night!" |
| [00:58.514] | Where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming; |
| [01:03.260] | And their tents in the rays of the clear autumn moon, |
| [01:07.729] | And the light of the camp-fires are gleaming. |
| [01:12.209] | There's only the sound of the lone sentry's tread |
| [01:16.983] | As he tramps from the rock to the fountain, |
| [01:21.473] | And he thinks of the two on the low trundle-bed, |
| [01:27.063] | Far away in the cot on the mountain. |
| [01:31.819] | All quiet along the Potomac to-night! |
| [01:43.574] | His musket falls slack; his face, dark and grim, |
| [01:48.057] | Grows gentle with memories tender, |
| [01:52.524] | As he mutters a prayer for the children asleep, |
| [01:57.000] | And their mother—"may Heaven defend her!" |
| [02:01.487] | The moon seems to shine as brightly as then— |
| [02:05.958] | That night when the love, yet unspoken, |
| [02:10.442] | Leaped up to his lips, and when low, murmured vows |
| [02:16.047] | Were pledged to be ever unbroken. |
| [02:20.812] | All quiet along the Potomac to-night! |
| [02:32.284] | Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes, |
| [02:36.769] | He dashes off tears that are welling, |
| [02:40.971] | And gathers his gun closer up to his breast |
| [02:45.457] | As if to keep down the heart's swelling. |
| [02:49.940] | He passes the fountain, the blasted pine-tree, |
| [02:54.419] | And his footstep is lagging and weary; |
| [02:58.620] | Yet onward he goes, through the broad belt of light, |
| [03:04.224] | Toward the shades of the forest so dreary. |
| [03:08.994] | All quiet along the Potomac to-night! |
| [03:20.195] | Hark! was it the night-wind that rustled the leaves? |
| [03:24.399] | Was it moonlight so wondrously flashing? |
| [03:28.882] | It looked like a rifle: "Ha! Mary, good-by!" |
| [03:33.374] | And the life-blood is ebbing and plashing. |
| [03:37.600] | "All quiet along the Potomac to-night!" |
| [03:42.355] | No sound save the rush of the river, |
| [03:46.833] | While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead, |
| [03:52.431] | The picket's off duty forever! |
| [03:56.910] | All quiet along the Potomac to-night! |
| [04:06.437] | All quiet along the Potomac to-night! |
