THE POEM
by william Cullen Bryant.

On this fair valleys verdant breast
The calm sweet rays OF summer rest,
And dove like peace benigniy broods
On its smooth lawns and solemn woods
century since, In flame and smoke,
TheIstorm Of battle Ger il broke,
And, ere the inv ,dcr turned and He'd,
These pleasant fields were strown with dead.
Stark. quick TO act and bold to dare,
And Warner mountain band were there.
Aud Allen, who had.nung the zen
Aside 10 lead the Berkshire men.
With fiery onset, blow on blow,
They rushed upon the embattled foe,
And swept his squadrOns from tbs vale
Like leaves before the autumn gale
Oh. never may the purple stain
Of combat blot these fields again.
Nor this fair valley ever cease
To wear the placid smile o: peace.
Yet here beside that battlefield,
We plight the vow that. ere we Yield
The rights Tor which our fathers bled,
our blood shall steep the ground we tread
And men shall hold the memory dear
Oi those who fought for freedom here,
And guard the heritage they won
While these green hillsides greet tho sun.
President Hayes was loudly called for,
