BIZ JAMES \. RANDALL q ~ l
You shudder as you thrk upon
The carnsg of the grim report
The desola'ion when wa won
The inner trenches OF the fort.
But there are deeds you may NOT know
That scourge the PULSES Into strife;
Dark memories of destblsss woe
Pointing the bayonet and knife.
The house is ashes where dwet
Beyond the mighty inland sea;
The t)mbstones shattered where knelt
BY that old Church in Pointe Coupee.
The Yankee fends that came with f.e,
Oamped on the oonsecrated sod,
And irampled in the dust and mire
The Holy Eucharist Of God
The spot where darling mother sleeps,
Beneath tie glimpse of yon sad moon,
Il crushed With splintered marble heaps
To stall the hose Of some dragooni
God when ponder that black day,
IL makes my frantic spirit VINCE
marohed-sith LoDgstreet-far away,
Blu. have beh1ld the ravsge since.
The tears ara hot upon my face
When thinking what bleak fate befell
The only sister OF cur race
A thing too horrible to tell.
They say lhl', ere Der senses fed,
She rescue of her brothers cried;
Then feebly bowed her stricken head,
Too pure TO live thug-so abe died.
Two of those brothers heard no plea,
With tteir proud hearts forever still
John shrouded by the Tennessee,
And Arthur there at Mslsern Hill.
But / have heard II every where
Vibrating like passing knel;
IT'S as perpetual as tbs air
And solemn as funeral bell.
By scorchei lagoon and murky swamp
Ny wrath was never in the urcb;
Iye killed the picket in his camp
Aud many pilot on his perch.
With deadly rife, sharpened brand,
A week ago, upon my stand,
With Forrest and HE warrior band
made the hell hounds writhe and bleed.
You should have seen our leader 90
Upon the battles burning marge,
Swoopiug like falcon on the foe,
Heading the grey lines iron charge
ALI outcasts from our ruined maris,
We leard tn undyiDg serpent hiss,
And in the desert of our hearts
Tee fatal spell Of Nemesis.
The Southern yell rang loud and high
The moment that We Numbered in,
Shifting the demcna hip and thigh,
CleAyiDg them TO the very chin.
Ny right arm barred for fercer pay,
The left one held the rein in sack;
In all the fury of the fray
sought the white mLu, not tn, black.
The dabbed clots of brain and gore
Across the swirling sabres ran;
To me each brutal visage bore
The front of one accursed man.
Throbbing along the frenzied vsin,
Ny blood seemed kndled into song
The death dirge Of the sacred Elain,
The slogan of immortal wrong.
1t glared aihwart the dripping glaiyea,
Il blszed in each avsnging eye
Tile thought Ofdesecratsd graves
And some lone sisters desperate cry.
