In fair Damascus fashioned well;
Who first the glittcring falchion swayed,
Who first beneath its fury fell,
know not, but hope to know
That for no mean or hireling trade,
20 guard no feeling base or low,
give my soldier.boy blade.
Cool, calm, and clear, the lucid flood,
In which its tempering work was done,
As calm, as clear, as cool of mood,
Be thou whenc'er it sees the sun;
For country's claim, at hOnOr's call,
For outraged friend, insulted maid,
At mercy's voice TO bid IL fall,
give my sodier.hoy a blade.
The eye which marked it, peerless edge,
She had that weighed its balanced pOisc,
Anvil and pinccrs, forge and wedge,
Are gone with all their flame and noise
And still the cleaning sword remains;
So, when in dust low am laid,
Remember, by those heartfelt strains,
gave my soldier boy a blade.
