Upon IL cir island fai- and green, girt by
the throbbiny sea,
The men OF Marthas Vineyard set a tree OF
lii erty;
Flung from its peak their virgin flag, that
wind and wave might hear
Their pledge 10 freedoms cause OF life and
honor yet more dear
Up through the harbor mouth one day, by
favoring breezss borne,
Haunting the ensign o. King George, came
the ship tnicoru;-
Her tsttered ales aud splintered spar told
bat sorry tai.
or battle with the bi!.ows' rage and fury OF
Now. br my faith" the captain cried,
'but there's goodly mast
Twere worth ten other nights Of storm,
each blacker than the last,
To bring these canting rebels pride to such
grievous fall.
And mend His Majesty's good ship with
yonGer flagstaff tail" ~
Then ,hLrt and stern the summons pass ed
through willing messeugers;--
''Sell me for gold, II so We viii, your prince
of iock-grown frs =
But bark We. II We bring il not by dawn OF
norrows morn,
Perforce take it!-and beware how ye my
mandate scorn!'
The patriots heard the naughty word and
struck with sore disAay,
Looked down the black mouths of the guns
grim watching from the bay.
Through clenched teeth and quivering lips
the angry whisper hs-ed,
This red-coat has US by the throat
twere madness to resist
Night fell along the quiet shore, with not
light to guide,
Save where the ships lantern dim
swung slowly with the tide
When softly from their sleep home there
sto.e the maidens three.
Hora, Parnel, and Mary fair, beneath the
liberty-tree.
They closed it round in silent ring,-what
meant that click OF steeii
Could musket cold ana biyoIet those gentle
hands conceal
Nay, from a simpe workman's bench were
drawn their weapons true,
Three twisted augers strong and sharp to
cut the tough wood through.
With firm, unfinching wounds of love they
pierced the fragrant grain,
Then forced the cracking powder home,
and set the fuse in train
Through the still darkness OF the hour a
sudden flash and roar,
And the tall emblem Of the free fell shivered
TO the core
The glad west wind of heaven that once
had rocked it where it grew,
Flung out its shattered fragments small
upon the water blue,
The mocking ripples tossed them light
against the vessels lee,
Whose paflied Captain anchor weighed, and,
cursing, put to sea.
While screamed the sea-bird on his track
Chew your proud words again.
Will they whom white-faced girls outwit,
dare try the fight with menu
So runs the tale of maidens three, to child

Hora. Parnel and Mary fair, of the brave
days Of Old
Mary A. z. Stansbury.
