The Bivouac Of the Dead.

BY COL. THEODORE o'uAEA.
Tho mufiled drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo
No more on life's parade shsll meet
The brave and fallen few
On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn round
The blvouac of the dead.
No rumor Of the ioe's advance
Now swells upon the wind.
Nor troubled thought ut midnig ht haunts
OF loved ones lett behind.
No vision OF the mOrrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms,
No braying horn. no screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivsred swords are red with rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, tralled in dust,
Is now their martial stroud
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow.
And the proud forms by battle gashod
Are FREQ from anguish now.
The neighing troop, the flashing blades,
The bugie's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannOnade,
The din and shout are passed,
Nor Wars wild notes. nor ,ilory's peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more may feel
Inc rapture oil Tie hSht.
Like the fierce northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph jet to gain,
Come down the serried Zoe.
Who heard the thunder OF the fray
Break DER the field beneath,
knew we'll the watchword Of that day
Was Victory or death
Thus meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field,
Borne to Spartan mothers breast
On many a bloody shield.
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The hero's sepulchro.
Rest on, embalmed and salntei dead
Dear is the blood you gave
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The heritage OF your grave.
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hAllOwed spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's voiceful stone,
In deathless song shall tell.
When many q vanished year hath nown.
The story how you fell
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters blight
Nor Times remOTseless doom,
Can dim one rny Of holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb.
