The Bivouac OF the Dead


The munied drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo!
No more On lies parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
on Famc's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread;
And Glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac OF the dead.
No m Of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind;
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
OF loved ones IL II behind;
No vision OF the morrow's strife
Tie warriors dream alarms.
No braying horn or screaming ffe
down shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed;
Their hauty banner, trailed In dust,
II now their martial shroud;
Ard p%ienteous funeral tears have washed
Tue red stains from each brow;
And the proud forms, by battle gashed,
Are Tree from anguish now.
The nslghIng troop: the flashing blade,
The charge. the dreadful cannonade.
The lin and shout, are passed;
Nor wHr's Mild mote, nor glory,s peal
Those nressts that never more may feel,
The rapture Of the fight.
Like the fierce northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Comes down the serried Toe,
Who heard the thunder OF the fray

Was victory or death.

Sons OF the dark and bloody ground,
We must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues rcsound
Along the needless air;
Your owE proud lands heroic soil
shall be your litter grave:
She claims from war Its richest spoil,
The Gshes OF her brave.
Thus meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY Held,
Borne tn a 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 sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted deAd!

40 impious fOOtstep here shall tread
The heritage OF your grave.
Nor shall thy glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps.
or Honor points the hallOw ed spot
Where Nalor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's v~oiceless stone
In deafness song shall tell,
When many a vanished year hath nown.

Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters night.
Nor Times TemOTseless doom,
