No vision of the morrow strife
The warrior dream alarms;
No Drawing horn nor screaming ME
AT dawn shall call 10 arms
uT Their shivered swords are red with rust;
Their plumed heads are bowed;
Their naughty banner, trsiiled in dust,
Is now their martial shroud;
And plenteOus funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And their proud forms. in battle gasbed
Are free from anguish Tow.
"The neightng steed, the flashing blade,
The trumpeJ's stfrrtn blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout are past.
No wars wild note, nor glory 8 peal
snail thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more shall feel
The rapture of the fight.
Like the dread northern hurricane
That sweeps his broad pl teau,
Flushed with the triumph yet 60 gain,
Came down the serried foe.
Our heroes felt the shock. and ieapt
To meet them on the plain
And long the plying sky naih wept
Above our gallant slain.
''Sons of our consecrated ground,
Sweet be your sIumber here,
Where friendly steps and tongues res0und
Aloag the listenins air
Your own proud lands nero soil
E, shall be your peacettqll l grave grave sno,,
The ashes of her brave.
- Beneath their TarenJ turI LneY rest,
Far from the CORY field;
Borne TO a Spartan mothers breast
On many a bloody shield.
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred h arts and eyes watch by
The heroes sepulchre.
{" Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead!
Our banner DER thee waves
No hostile footsteps here shall tread
The heritage OF your graves;
Nor shall YONG glory be los got
While fame her record keeps,
Or honor points the hatlowed spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.
"The marble MINISTER'S voiceless tone
In death ess songs shall tell,
When many a vanquished age hath flown,
The story how ye fell.
Nor wreck, nor change, nor W nter's blight,
Nor times rernOrseless doom,
Shall dim one ray OF holy light
That gilds your glorious Tomb
