“Champions Hill”


“Champions Hill”

Champions Hill May 1863

fought almost unknown

surely forgotten by most

never taught in schools

yet the most pivotal day

the Blue and the Grey

valiant mixing blood dying

in the hot sun then drying

harsh and horrible to play

where brothers some say

traded in their war tools

meeting now a different host

no legends to be grown

on this day in May 1863!
