SONG OF THE GRECIAN AMAZON.
buckle to my slender side
The pistol and the scimetar,
And in my maiden flower and pride
Am come to share the tasks Of war,
find yonder stands my fiery steed,
That paws the ground and neighs to go,
My charger of the Arab breed
Itook him from the routed foe.
Ny mirror is the mountain spring,
At which dress my ruffled hair;
My dimmed and dusty arms bring,
find wash away the blood-stain there.
Why should guard, from wind and sun,
This cheek whose virgin rose is fed,
1t was for one-oh, only one
kept its bloom, and he is dead.
But they who slew him--unaware
Of coward murderers lurking nigh
And lett HIM to the fowls OF ar,
Are yet alive-and they must die.
They slew him-and my virgin years
fire vowed to Greece and vengeance now
And many an Gilman dame, in tears
Shall rue the Grecian maiden's vow.
touched the lutte in better days,
Iledin dance the joyous band:
All I! they may move to mirthful lays,
Whose hands can touch lovers hand.
The march of hosts that haste to meet
Seems gayer than the dance to me;
The lute's sweet tones are not so sweet
As the fierce shout of victory.
