The calm sweet rays OF summer rest,
And dove-like peace benignly hroods
On it, smooth lawn and solemn woods.
century since. In flame aud smoke,
The storm Of battle DER II broke,
And, ere the invader turned and fed.
These pleasant fields were strown with dead,
Stark. quick TO act and bold TO dare,
And Warmers mountain band were there,
And Allen, who had flung the pen
Aside TO lead the Berkshire men,
with fiery onset, blow on blow,
They rushed upon the emhattled foe,
And swept his squadrons from the vale
Like leaves before the autumn gale.
OBJ never may the purple stain
OF combat blot these fields again,
Nor this fair valley ever cease
To wear the placid smile Of peace.
Yet here, beside that battle field,
We plight the vow that ere we yield
The rights for which our fathers bled
Our blood shall steep the ground we tread.
