THE LAST RALLY.
NOVEMBER, 1861.
BY J. t. TRowBMDGE.
Rally rally rally
Arouse the slunbcring land
Rally rally from the mountain and valley,
Aud no from the ocean strand
We sons Of the West, Americas best
New Hampshire's men Of might
Prom prairie and Crag uniurl the dag,
And rally to the fight
Armies of untried heroes,
Disguised in craftsman and clerJ
yt men Of the cnast, invinciblo host
Come every one 10 the work.
From the fisherman gray the salt-sea spray
That on Long Island breaks,
To the yOufh who tills the uttermost hills
By The blue northwestern lakes!
And ye Freedmen! rally rally
To the banners Of the North
Through the shattered door of bondage pour
Your swarthy legOns fOrhl
K.rtuckians yc OF Tennessee
Who scOfneJ lh5 despOts sway
10 all, TO all, the buglc-cal
OF Freedom sounds to-day
cid men shan fight with the ballot,
Weapons the asst and best
Ar the payunet, with blood red-wet,
Shall write the will OF the rest
And he boys shall hil mems places,
And the little maiden rock
Her doll as she sits with her grandam and knits
An unknown hero sock.
And the hearts OF heroic mothers,
And the deeds of ee5Ie wives,
With their power TO bless shall aid no less
Than the brave who give thcir lives.
The rich their gold shall bring, and the old
shall help Us with their prayers;
While lowering hosts OF pailid ghosts
Attend us unawarcs
From the ghastly fields Of Shiloh
Muster the phantom bands,
From Vifgnlas swamps and death s white camps
On Carolina sands;
From fredericksburg, and Gettysburg,
see them gathering fast
And up from Manassas, what is IL that passes
Like thin clouds in the blast
From the Wilderness, where blanches
The nRmeless skeleton;
From vchsburg's slaughter and red-streaked
water,
And the trenches of Douelson;
From the cruel, cruel prisons,
Where their bodies pined away,
Pr, m groanng decks, from sunkeu wrecks,
They gather with US day.
And they say 70 US, "Rally rally!
The work is almost done
Ye haryesiers sally from mountain and valley
And reap the fields we won.
We sOwed for endless years of peace,
We narrowed aud watered well;
Our dying deeds were the scattered seeds:
Shall they perish where they iell:'
And their brother, left behind them
In The deadly roar and clash
or esnnou aud sword, by fort aud ford
And TIE cartiues qu.veying flash;
Before the Rsbtl citadel
