DR,HOLLAND9S SPLENDID POEM.


DR.HOLLAND'S SPLENDID POEM.
Delivered at the Triennial, Reunion OF
the Army of the James, New York, Oct
81 .' '''
No tears for them who bore the proof
OF heroes, in their foemen's seal
OF blazing shaft, and blunted steel,
And ramping chargers needless hooi.
Free from the duty of breath,
From sense OF woe and sense of wrong,
They sleep, as wheels the world along.
In the sweet dignity of death
No tears for them? Tears, then, for whom?
Tears for ourselves, whose little lives
Bound to our children and our wives
Where sleeps an idol; baser still,
Tied to our lucre and our lust,
Betrays each hour the sacred trust
Left rs by heroes to fulfill?
Tears for the thieves who rob the dead,
In robbing those their death bereft,
Apd waste the gold that love has left
BY gambling with the nations bread!
Tears for the demagogues who trade
In teuds of party aud Of race,
And seek for plunder and for place
In strifes their own vile hands have made!
Tears for the Rings of perjured souls
That grind the rich aud poor alike,
And steal the grist from whico they
strike,
..or those they serve, the stingy tolls!
Tears for the realm that blindly shelves
:. Its men Of noblest brain and brawn,l
And crowds its councils witn the spawn
OF little men who choose rhemrelves!
Tears tor the men who basely hold
The nation to its paper lies,
Against the vision Of the wise,
And shame the eagle n their gold!
Tears for the land that builds of rags
Its ediice of power and wealth,
And holds the happiness and health
Oh Olsoverign States in carpet bags.
Ay, tears for those who, shred and shorn-
Not blameless, but our brothers still
In common lot and Gods good will
Are bleeding, fainting, tossed and :orn.';
Dy jarring policies and feuds
OF race with race, till fain to fly
From their ancestral homes, or die
In silent, hopeless multitudes.
o bro hers of the gun and glaive.
o living Army Of the James,
How shall we answer to the claims
OF the beloved and buried brave?
BY pledging now our good right hand,
BY pleasing now our loyal word,
That, selfish lust, to love deferred,
And gain to God and native land,
We here declare eternal strife,
Aye-battle to the hilt-with those
Who traffic in the nations woes,
And live upon the nations lite.
q peace-in shame and Punishment;
industry-with folded armsl
q land Of beauty, from whose charms
Have fled the graces of content
There is no cure for feud and schism
III law, that is not born of love,
Or party stlifes that rise above
The holy claims of patriotism.
o stately shade Of martyred men,
Who mark our petty ends and aims,
Warm us with your diviner flames,
And save your country once again.
