What does each stanza mean in nathaniel hawkins' "My low and humble home"? I've been researching and there are no resources for it:(?

Onward I press'd with eager feet,

And War's dread thunder still would greet

My reckless ears. Where'er I trod,

I saw the green and verdant sod,

Turn red with blood of slaughter'd foes,

And Fury veil'd in smoke arose.

I gain'd the envied height; and there,

I sigh'd for that lone cottage, where

The early hours of life flew by,

On wings of youthful ecstasy.

Too late I found that Glory's ray,

Could never bring one happy day.

only these stanzas please THANK YOU VERY MUCH

    chosen people = the ones that have the correct religion. orthodoxy is the only true faith with one cup and one spoon and no one gets sick. roman catholics tried one cup one spoon ritual and got sick with bubonic plague; if heresy enters orthodox monastery, then its inhabitants will get sick also. covid = another heresy; that's why disposable cups were introduced in heretical gatherings. churches who had disposable cups, masks, disposable spoons, dipped spoon into alcohol, or closed for covid = no grace of the Holy Spirit in them = they woik for satin. death to de antichrist! oh...snap... here he iz flyin' thru ma neck of de woodz; hide ur kidz, hide ur wife; antichrist is flyin' thru town; take ur glocks out and shoot dat son of a bytch down; he's an s-o-b 'cuz his mother is a 12th generation prostitute to jews and hindus; ew...he's gay 'cuz she a lesbian who pretends to be a virgin; well...

    Source(s): project blue beam will show five figures (christian god, buddhist god, hindu god, muslim god, and jewish god) merging in2 1 (de antichrist); so, hide now (within a 7-15 people group; 10-12 according to saint seraphim of sarov; 10-15 according to saint gabriel urgebadze)... no documents as they r from satin (burn 'em); no electronics so that u won't be tracked (even old broken unplugged 1970 tv set will show de antichristo using tesla's ether); forgive me 4 dis spiel.

    1: soldier walking the battlefield.

    2: through the blood soaked ground. He tops a hill where he remembers.

    3: the memory of his childhood home.

    the stuff of empty words as if one of sip do da support do da day in his own imaginary world as this day a wast in words, breath, and man his self.

    As if this his is doing great  for doing nothing

    I never got, but they are many followers of him and others like him do the same

    "there are no resources" Just as he speaks that's,  Empty versa; as nothing even to say, ya I can't.

    even this truth he wanted,-death. Another dead end.

    But I rejoice the day of the Lord is near. When these things will come to rest.

    They mean exactly what they say...there's nothing cryptic about them. I find what he's saying to be perfectly clear. Just rearrange it this way and it might make more sense to you...

    Onward I pressed with eager feet, and War's dread thunder still would greet my reckless ears.

    Wherever I trod, I  saw the green and verdant sod turn red with blood of slaughtered foes and fury veiled in smoke arose.

    I gained the envied height; and there, I sighed for that lone cottage where  the early hours of life flew by on wings of youthful ecstasy.

    Too late I found that Glory's ray could never bring one happy day.
