Hark, the tramping of the shsrger-- HaFk. the clanking Of the steel, See the Eagle banners huttcr-- See the btistling columns wheel. Lo, the men of Palo Alto, On the eighth and ninth of May, Come to gather brighter laufels From the walls of Monterey. See, how in battle order The glittering ranks depioy, With the warriors gen 'rocs aIdoT, Vita his stern and silent joy. Loud booms the hostile thunder, Thick falls the iron rain--- Yet still the march is oawsrd Ger the stormy battle plain. Hark mighty shout is pcaling. Pealing on the ioeman's ear, Clearer than his loudest thunder. Iris the Saxon's onset cheer. On they press, the gallant comrades or the heroes. Ringsold-May-- And the weapons of La Palma Flash again al Monterey. Up the heights the Bishops palace, Wrapt ia clouds of smoke and flame, Stand beacon to the warrior On his daring path 10 fame. Up the heights the Bishop palace, As the war-eioad rolls along, Spreads the charging columns banner From the ramParls dark and strong In the city enfiladed, Hemmd with stockade, ditch and wall, See the gallant Third is pressing On in triumph through ihem all. See, the Texan Rangers panting, Storming on their bloody way The strongholds of the !oeman, Striking home at Monterey. Long and bloody was the contest, Many gallant soldier fell. Never in our country's annals Was battle fought so well. Not in all the deeds of daring, Since Freedoms earlier day, Was there brighter than the storning or the walls at Monterey.
