"A Victorious Union SERIES: The Blue and the Gray--Afloat"
Oliver Optic
Meanwhile I labour with eternal drought, And restless wish, and rave; my parched throat Finds no relief, nor heavy eyes repose: But if a slumber haply does invade My weary limbs, my fancy's still awake, Thoughtful of drink, and, eager, in a dream, tipples imaginary pots of ale, In vain; awake I find the settled thirst Still gnawing, and the pleasant phantom curse.
"Specimens with Memoirs of the Less-known British Poets, Vol. 3"
George Gilfillan
