The brow, the mouth, the nose
Haunting Potomac's shore.
Take ev'ry vile cravat,
On neck of man or brat,
That emblems treason" bold;
And grab the infants socks
Which speak Of cruel knocks

Nor for moment Shirk
The duties demand!
Lest my distressing fears
Should bathe with scalding tears
My cOuntenance so bland.
Heed not the many sneers,
The multitude Of jeers
The " rebels" will display;
But let the urgent need
Persuade You to proceed
And act this very day.
Because my shatter'd brain
Is tortur'd by the slain
Whose ghosts in legions throng,
And shall die of fear,
Unless my nerves you'll cheer
By efforts prompt and strong.
Then start my noble boys:
Destroy the chiltfren's toys
And smite secession sore:
Let nothing red and white
Survive another night,
On Chesapeake's great shore.
