Written Expressly for the Edgcfeld Advertiser.
THE DOOM OF CAULINc0URT.
YOUNGER BROTHER or THE DUKE OF FIcENzA.
The battles din was hushed, and 10!
Black silence rcigned 6'erall the earth;
The gliltering stars sang sweet and low
AS when their Maker gave them birth.
Tn Aurora's scintilatons flashed
Like spectres from the shrouded North;
And me,eors CLEANED athwart the sky
Like him who led those armies forth.
The countless hosts were wrapt in sleep,
All save the faithful sentinel,
And him, the victor, c'er whose tent
The frigid Russian tempests swell.
And o'er the earth, and DER the sea
Strange echoes bellow'd hoarse and Wild
From out the Kremlin's funeral Pyrc
To Borodno's tented field.
Stretched on the Marques fur-sprcad floor
The lovers, husbands eye-lids swell,
AS closer to his sheltering breast
lie pressed the form he loved so well.
No toll could weigh those eye-!ids down;
No fairy dreams could lure his soul;
But constant to that face he turns,
AS the true needle 10 the pole.
But three short days since those sweet lips
Had pledged eternal faith to him,
And with high hopes his bosom throb'd
For her proudcr name 10 win.
And as he gazed, perchance he dreamed
That laurels soon would crown his brow,
And she would share the dear-bought prize,
And love would wear brighter 9 low.
The morning dawn'd, and 10 OF high
a bio 'dy banner waved, unfurl'd;
And lurid shadows fcrkrd the east
Like monarchs from their empires hurled.
The marshal'd hosts were moving then
Like blows o'cr the mighty deep,
Willie onward like the maclstrom surge
They sought III gore the earth t" steep.
Now come the tidings, 'Onc has fallen,
Upon whose breast cleaned many star
Whose coat Of mail was glory's seal
Enlinked by Chains whose forge was war;"
To Caulincourt, the young and brave,
The sword in turn is quickly given
Ere yet the mandates echoes die =.
The gallant soldiers heart is riven.
Dread war! where are thy gl"ries now,
When nature weeps thy reereant swayl
When pillaged towns and kingdoms scathed
Wall forth their wrongs in sad disinayl
And she, the youthful widow'd bride,
From whose fair check loves flush has flown
With blighted heart and hopes, is left
Her evanescent joys to mourn.
