THE BATTLE or ERIE,

Commemorative of the gallant and successful
sortie. made NJ the ep~my's batteries before
Fort Erie, on the IN, September, 1S14.1
BY Edmund.
Meridian was The hour of day ~
The Soldier anxious forthe fray,
Watch'd the arip'd banners proud display.
That led to Death or Victory.
Saint Georges blood-stain'd cross on high,
Tover'd proudly TO each Briton's eye
That Gag betimm'd with crimson . =,
Which oft had wav'd triumpbantIy: &
They mcet--each hattie blade is drawn &
More fierce and hot thu battles grown
And Atlas like. hravc BRowH there shone,
Where hercest rolls the cannonry.
oh, e'cr another sun shalt dawn,
Pull many widows heart shall mourn,
For him who never shall return, q
Low. ssumS'rmg near Niagars.
What sheu. is that that strikes the earl
Is It for Victory or Despair
And hsr< again it p-sis the air.
It sounds for glorious Victory. -
Dearly is the battle bought there,
WOOD, tie gallant hero, fell many atear
Shall fall upon his clay cold bier,
Who fought so valantiy
And there the accomplished GIBsox" fell
The Poets sweetest song shall tell,
whilst sorrow bids his bosom swell,
Of &c GENEROUS Gbson's" gallantry.
Many a Soldier, too, by valor fred,-
By Freedoms hallow'd fame irspir'd,
Unnam'd, unknown to few, retird
And sunk into obscurity
Full many sun shall gid the sky b
Full many tear bcdew the eye
Full many bosom heave the sigh,
Fer that proud day shall fade in merhory.
