The cold, gray light Of the daWning
On old Carlton falls
And dim in the mist Of the morning
stand the grim old fortress walls
No sound disturbs the stiffness
save the eataraet's mellow roar.
Silent as death is the fortress
Silent the misty shore.
But mp from the Weakening waters
Comes the cool fresh morning breeze,
Lifting the banner of Britain.
And whispering TO the trees
OF the swim gliding boats on the waters
That are nearing the fog slirouded land
With the old Green Mountain Lion
And his daring patriot band.
But the sentinel at the postern
Heard not the whisper low;
He is dreauing of the banks of the Shannon
A. he walks on his beat To and fro.

And a tear down bis broiized check courses

sound breaks the misty stiffness
And quickly he glances around.
Through the mist, forms like towering giants
Seem rising out Of the ground:
challenge, the frelock flashes
sword eleayes the quivering air,
An the sentry lies dead by the pOsteru
Blood staining his bright. yellow hair
Then with shout that awakens
All the echoes OF hillside and glen
Through the low frowmng gate of the fortress
Sword in hand, rush the Green Mountain men
The scarce wakened troops of the garrison
Yield up their trust pale with fear;
And down comes the bright British banner
And out rings Green Mountain cheer.
With crimson and gold are ablase;
And up springs the sun in his splendor
And fings down his arrowy rays,
Bathing IN sunlight the fortress
Turning to gold the grim walls
While louder, and clearer and higher
Rings the song of the waterfalls
Since the taking of Ticonderoga
century has rolled away;
But with pride the nation remembers
That glorious morning in MAY.
And the eataract's silvery music
Forever the story tells
OF the capture Of old Carlton,

The boy stood on the burning deck.
With paper collar round his neck;
He couldn't sit down to save his soul,
For his pants were as tight as old King Cole
The flames rolled on and burnt his clothes.
Aud popped the eorns upon his toes;
Thermometer ninety in the shade
This boy was not bit afraid.
For when the flames up his shins,
II made him think Of all his sins;
He elasped his hands and cracked his heels,
And danced four jigs and sixteen reels.
He hopped and kicked like a horse mariEe
When the flames had reached the magazine
And uttered all sorts of words and vowels
This poor little boy with east-iron bowels
For he saw that his doom a trip in the air
And he knew that he hadn't moment to spare
Crack bang whiz Away went the powder,
And Kassy Banker was blown to clam ehorder
