THE BATTLE OF TRENTON.
by the autkor Of the Frontier Mdi1.'
Dliid WIS the osgh' and roaring wide
Roild out Delaware's stormy tide,
The drifting ice from eide to edo
Driving and crashing restlessly.
Then, through the wintry tempests moan,
FlouIished the swelling trumpet tone,
Their little banks, the host unknow
Are launching forth inpetuously.
Oft DER the food was heard the roar,
As thro' the drift some bsrges bore
With Changing AK and crashing oar,
Bursting their way resistlessly.
For high the Chieftain's signal bright,
Blazes ahead, and who to eight
Would tamely lag behind that light
That leads to Death or Victory.
o, what's this lonely martial pow'r,
That in this wild unwopted hour,
SVhiIe darkness and while tempests low'r.
Puts forth 90 stern and feArlessly!
'Tis Liberty's last hope below,
Thro' flood and storm they seek the foe
To strike the bravest mightiest blow
That e'er was struck for Victory.
Tbi, awful hour the die is cast,
For Trenton they are toipg fast,
Where every hear, must bleed its last
Or save expiring Liberty.
Loud was the storm o ser all the land,
Bud cold it swept the darkscme strand,
Where, strupg Cling from their barks, the bend
Mustered in dread serenity.
Then rose shout who would not die,
TO mix with hearts so bold and bighP
For "Bst,le Bsttle!" was the cry
That thunder'd loud and cheerfully.
s'Onw was the word and grim and dread,
While all is silent as the dead,
Save the quick marcn's hurried tread,
The hos. is rushing rapidly.
What do yon glimmeriog watch-fres tell
What distant sounds so family swell ?
What lonely voices cry "alps well,'
Amid the nights solemnity

That shrek Of death THE pickets die -

To rival Trenton's Chivalry.
