Young Writers Society

Hi everyone! This is my first post so not sure if I'm on the right forum.Lmk if I need to delete and post elsewhere.

I'm researching Confederacy poems and the role of women writing them. There's an interesting poem I've seen referred to but I don't know the author or title. The only line I have is:

Oh year of '63.

The year refers to 1863, during the American Civil War. If anyone recognises the line or know who the woman who wrote it, please let me know!

Thanks

Responding to this thread very late, but love a good scavenger hunt -

Could it have been "Kentucky Belle" by Constance Fenimore Woolson? https://allpoetry.com/Kentucky-Belle

That poem begins:

Summer of 'sixty-three, sir, and Conrad was gone away—
Gone to the country town, sir, to sell our first load of hay.
We lived in the log house yonder, poor as ever you've seen;
Roschen there was a baby, and I was only nineteen.

There's also a poem by Walt Whitman (who wrote several poems about the Civil War) called "1861".
