Originally untitled, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" was composed by Howe in the semi-darkness of her hotel room in Washington, following a visit to President Lincoln and Union encampments. First published in the Atlantic Monthly in February 1862, it was soon sung to the tune of "John Brown's body," and became an ideal marching song and a universally popular anthem of the Civil War. Here, the elderly author pens the first and the fifth and final stanza: "In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born, across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me: As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on." Howe's original 1862 draft manuscript was in the Middendorf Collection, sold at Christie's 17 May 1989, now in the Forbes Collection.
