John G. Scoville to Ruth C. Scoville, undated
When this cruel war is over
How happy ill be then
With my friends near to sever
Yes a happy band of men—
 
Well live to god with hope
Of of pleasures to come
And every sunny slope
Will near us to our home
 
And when from life set free
And all our troubles ore
In heaven forever be
With angels ever more
