BATTLE-wORN BAENE.
BY PARK BENJAMIN.

IsEW the soldiers come to-day
From battlefield afar;
No conqueror rode before their way
On his triumphal ear,
But captains, like themselves, on foot
And banners sadly torn,
All grandly eloquent, though mute,
In pride and glory borne.
Those banners, soiled with dirt and smoke,
And rent by shot and shell,
That through the serried phalanx broke
What terrOrs they could tell!
What tales of sudden pain and death
In every cannon's boom,
When even the bravest held his breath
And waited for his doom.
By hands Of steel these hsgE were waved
Above the carnage dire,
Almost destroyed, yet always saved,
Mid battle-clouds and fire.
Though down at times, still up they rose
And kissed the breeze again,
Dread tokens to the rebel foes
Of true and loyal mon.
And here the true and loyal still
Those famous banners bear;
The bugles wind, the flies blow shrill,
And clash the cymbals, where
With decimated ranks they come,
And through the crowded street
March to the beating Of the drum
With firm though weary feet.
God bless the soldiers! cry the folk
Whose cheers of welcome swell,
God bless the banners, black with smoke
And torn by shot and shell;
They should be hung on sacred shrines
Baptized with grateful tears,
And live emhalmed in poetry's lines
Through all succeeding years.
No grander tropnles. could be brought
By patriot sire to son,
OF glorious battles nobly fought,
Brave deeds sublimely done
And SO, to-day, 1 CHANGED with pride
And solemn joyto see
Those remnants from the bloody tide
OF Victory
