But never 10 surrender.
T'rro-e serene the August sun
Upon that day of glory;
Ttcrr!ed from musket and from gun
Tie var-cloud gray and hoary.

Vow broken add now blended.
Where rang the bugle's angry call,
and rank with rank contended.
-Four thousand men, as brave and true
As e'er went forth i'll daring,
Iron ihc fee that morning threw
The strength Of their dcspairing.
They feared not deaih-nen bless the field,
That patriot soldiers die on,
Fair Freedon'scause was sword and shield,
And at their head was Lyon
Their leaders troubled soul looked forth
From ewes Of troubled brightness;
Sad soul! the burden of the \ oTth
Had pressed out all its lightness.
h gazed upon the unequal fight,
His ranks all rent and gOry.
And FELT the shadows close like night
Round his career of glory.
Come, General, lead rs - loud the cry
From brave hand was ringing
lead liz. and we will stop. or die,
That battery awful singing
IIe summed to where his HEROES stood,
Twice wounted-no wound knowing
Tho FIRE Of battle in his blood
And on his forehead glowing.
Oh eprsed for ave that traitors hand,
Ard cursed the aim so deadly.
Which snote the bravest of the land.
And dyed his bosom redly
Serene he lay while passed him pressed
The battles furious billow,
As calmly as Il babe may rest
Upon It's mothers pillow.
So Lyon died and well may flowers
His place of burial cover.
For never had this land Of ours
4 more devoted lover.
Living. his country was his bride,
Hi. life he gaze her dying;
Life, fortune, love-he naught denied
To her and 10 Ler signing.
Rest. Patriot, in thy hillside grave.
Beside her form who bore thee!
Long may the land thou died'st to save
Her hammered stars wave DER thee
Upon her historv's brightest page,
Aud on Fame : glowing portal,
Shell write thy grand, heroic rage.
And grave thy name immortal!
