THE SONG OF THE CAMP.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR

BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
81 Give us a songi" the soldier cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the camp allied,
Grew weary of bombarding-
The Dark Redan in silent scoff,
Lay grim and threatening under;
And the tawny mound of the Malakof,
No longer held its thunder.
There was pause The guard man said,
I've storm the forts tomorrow
Sing while We may, another day
Will bring enough of sorrow"
Then 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 Britain's glory;
Each heart recalled a different name,
But al sang annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up :he song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem. rich and strong,
Their battle ewes 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 Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again fare of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With scream of shot and burst of shell,
And believing OF the mOrtars-
An Irish Nora'S eyes are dim,
For singer dumb and CORY;
An English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of Annie Laurie"
All. soldier to your honored rest,
Your truth and valor bearing,
The bravest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.
