WHERE ARE THEY.
BY d. J. JACKSON

BY d. J. JACKSON.
Where are the brave of other years,
Who marshalici oft in stern array,
r, ,venge the wrongs and bitter tears,
And ruthless deeds done day by day
The Contnentals-where are they?
Before whose fronts the north .sn blast,
From icy realms and mountain sere,
Did vainly beat, then bowling pass'd,
Whose hearts were true and knew not fear
The Continent ls--wh re are they?
Who, mid the brakes ana serpcit'S feI-
On mranrst fare conteatcd stood,
To meet the foc-no matter when,
And nobly shed their Patriot blood
The C6nncntalS-where are they?
Who molly grasped the flashing steel,
When focman's breast was barred Ia view;
when, Ike the lightning them wheel,
And proved its temper good and true
The Contincntals-where are they?
The gross is green on many spot,
Where never funeral call was cLined,
And calm their roS;-thcy need ii not,
They're IN each irceman's heart cnshrined,
And none who hl'd more loved than they.
