Explore "Do not Cheer, Men are Dying" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Do not cheer, for men are dying / From their distant homes in pain; / And the restless sea is darkened / By a flood of crimson rain.
Do not cheer, for anxious mothers / Wait and watch in lonely dread; / Vainly waiting for the footsteps / Never more their paths to tread.
