Transcription
[printed text above handwritten text] How oft I [hastened] at its [illegible] call. Within thes walls so sacred, there to hear the story of our Saviours love to all. Ring out old Bell! Your tunes are sweet to me. Just now I ask no sweeter melody. My journey o'er I hasten up the stretch with nimble steps travel the well worn line; [illegible] at the door - "oh happiness complete!" The loved returned, the best is found again." Obsessed [hear], what [illegible] what joy " O welcome, welcome, welcome home my boy." Home. I felt my mothers hand upon my head I saw tears flowing & I thought she spoke. I forward bent to hear the word she said just then the Bugle sounded - I awoke. The morn had dawned my pleasant dreams were o'er. I found myself a Soldier as before. I had but dreamed, yet moments happy there. I woke with courage, hope & trust mother. Resolved to firmly bear my Soldier [woes] till comes the welcome order - "Home again", I slung my knapsack [raised] my trusty gun. And ere the sun rose we were "Marching on," H.O.N. May 1[st] 1864. ------------------------------ May: 1864 [The pages from April 29 to May 2 are filled with his work on a poem entitled A Dream of Home, a topic not surprising since they knew that once again they were going up against the Army of Northern Virginia, and at this point no one had any idea of how bad it would become. Just what he intended the finished poem to look like is not clear and since it is typical Victorian sentiment, the poem is not reproduced here. Needless to say it is not in the league of any of the Victorian works of Browning, Arnold or Tennyson.] Crooks, Terence G. “Transcribed and Annotated Diaries of Henry Oliver Nightingale.” Unpublished manuscript, 2014.
