The overall thematic movement of Battle-Pieces is from the chaos of war to the order of peace and reconciliation, a movement also evident in Drum-Taps (1865), Walt Whitman's collection of Civil War poems. Melville's volume's early poems depict a nation torn asunder by a violent storm, but the war's end and the North's victory reestablish order in the American universe. For example, "Aurora-Borealis," a poem commemorating the end of the war, opens with the question, "What power disbands the Northern Lights/ After their steely play?"
