THE BATTLE OF TRENTON,

IL Dh L Of KEN lONs
Mild was the night and roaring wide
RolPd out Delaware's stormy tide,
The drifting ice from side to side
Driving and crashing restlessly:
Then through The wintry moan,
Flourish'd the swelling trumpet tone,
Their little barks, the host Unknown
Are launching forthimpetuousIy.
Oft o'e. the food was heard the roar,
AS through the drift some barges bore
With changing AK and crashing oar,
Bursting their way resistlesslys
For high the Chieftain's signal bright,
Blazes ahead, and who to night
Would tamely lag behind that light
That ieads'to Death or Victory.e
% what's this lonely martial power,
That in this wild unwonted hour,
while darkness and while tempests Iowero
Puts forth SO stern and fearessy
sTis Li5ersy's last hope below,
Through flood and storm they seek the foe
To strike the bravest, mightiest blow,
That eer was struck for Victory.
This awful hour the die is cast,
For Trenton they are toilng fast,
Where every heart most bleed its last,
Or save expiring Liberty.
Loud was the storm DER Ill the land,
But could it sweep the darksome strand,
Where, struggling from their barks, the ban,
Muster'd in dread serenity.
Then rose ashout who would not die,
To mix with hearts so bold and hight
For aBattle," "Battle !" was the cry
That thunder'd loud and cheerfuly.
eOn y was the word and grim and dread,
While all is silent as the dead,
Gave the quick march's hurried tread,
The host is rushing rapidly.
What do yon glimmering watch-fres tell
What distant sounds so family swell?
What lonely voices cry " ALPS WE'LL"
Amid the nights solemni,y!
