THE CUMBERLAND.

At anchor in Hampton Reads We lay,
On board of the Cumberland sloop-of-war
And at times from the fortress across the ba
The alarum of drums swept past,
Ora bugle- blast
From the camp on the shore.
Then far away to the South uprose
A little feather of snow white smoke,
And we knew that the iron ship of our foes
Was steadily steering its conrse
TO try the force ....
OF our ribs of oak. *
Down upon us heavily runs,
Silent and sullen, the floating fort;
Then comes q puff Of smoke from her guns,
And leaps the terrible death,
With fiery breath,
From each open port.
We are not idle, but send her straight
Defiance back in a full broadsidc
As hail reb0unde from O roof of slate,
Rebounds our heavier hail
From eAch iron scale
or the monsters hide.
''Strike your flag!' the rebel cries,
In his arrogant old plantation strain.
'Ncver!" onr gallant Morris replies;
''1t is better to sink than to yield!"
And the whole air pealed
With the cheers of our men.
Then, like kraken huge and black,
She crushed our ribs in her iron grasp!
Down went the Cumberland all wrack,
With sudden shudder of death,
And the cannon's breath
For her dying gasp.
Next morn, as the sun rose over the bay,
Still foated our flag at the mainmast-hcad
Lord, how beautiful was thy day!
Every watt Of the air
Was a whisper Of prayer,
Or dirge for the dead.
Ilo! brave hearts that went down in the seas
Ye are at peace in the troubled stream.
IIo! brave land! with hearts like these,
Thy flag that is rent in twain,
Shall be one again,
And without Il seam!
