THE REGIMENT RETURNED.
BY PARK BENJAMIN.
The fife blows shrill, the drum beats loud,
hear the tr.mp of many feet,
Cone e.hoiny - the city street,
With cheers and welcomes from the crowd
1t is the regiment returned,
That went awIy three months ago;
Fearless they met the Southern foe,
AMI with tric patriot ardor burned
Their looks aud dress are somewhat worn,
Bat every gun is free from rust,
And that is honorable dust
Upon their caps and knapsae5s borne.
Their banner still is held on high,
Though soiled with wind, and rain and smoke,
As bravely as when first it broke
In light like sunrise on the sky.
In the full front of battle shown,
1t onward led the serried files
O'er many rough 9nd weary miles.
Through Wild, beleaSured paths unknown.
Against its folds the shot were cast,
From hidden batteries, charged with death,
And though its bearer held his breath,
Twas carried upward to the last
And now, still marching where it waves,
The bold survivors of the band,
Returning to their own dear Land.
Have cit behind their comrades graves.
But. vowng to avenge their lose.
soon where those omrades fougAt and ftil,
They'll meet once more an-l conquer wlll
Beneath the Unions starry cross.
'Ts right to welcome home with cheers
These patriot sol .ierS, FRESH from light,
Though some no longer greet our sight,
But claim their country grateful tears
For them we 21ourn !; For thr Se we raise
Our happy nlaIfis to tine sky,
And, as their ranks cone marching ty,
Reward their coura5t with our prdlsr.
