THE SONG OF ThA
A CRIuBAE INcIDENT-BY BATARD

A CRIHRAE INCIDENT--BY BAvAED
"Give us Song!' the soldiers cried, '.
The outer trenches guarding.
When the heated guns of the camps allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent SCOT,
Lay, grim and threatening, under;
And the tawny mound of the Ma akoh
No longer beched its thunder.
There was a pause. The guardsman said
1--WE storm the forts tomorrow
Sing while we may. another day
VIII bring enough OF SORROW"
They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts. from Severn and from Clyde
And from the banks Of Shannon.
They sang of love, and not of fame;
Forgot was Brtains glory
Each heart recalled "a different name,
But all sang "Annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong
Their battle-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
Yet as the song grew louder
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crmean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again fire Of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters.
With scream of shot and burst Of shell
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For singer dumb and glory;
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang Of Annie Laurie"
All, soldiers to your honored rest
Your truth and valor bearing;
The bravest are the tonderest--
The loving are the daring.
