Against that fierce and merry hooo
Lanues lcgiCns stroVe in VAIN

Drawn round his meagre form
pasred madiy through the binding smoke
The genius Of the storm.
A drummer hoy had tramped all day
To keep his place among
Tho hyinc column OF DesaiX,
On vi On the battle hung.
The chieftain marked the weary lad
with torn and bleeding feet.
And at the sight his heart grow sad,
up. boy; sound the retreat.
"Nay. sire" a flush defiant burned
Upcn that boyish Lrow.
THAT beat I never vet have learned.
DesaiX ne'er taught us now
But. sire" his ardent eve grew large
With courage half divine.
"Thcy say that when ] beat the charge
Tho dead fall into line
"I beat il on old Tabor's slopes
Till the atahals grow dumb,
AT the pyramids the Frenchmen's hopes
Rose with ny rafting drum.
"I've beaten il when lips that bled
Gasped out "a pacing cheer.
All I can almost wake tho dead.
Sire, may beat IL here?
Napoleon's piercing glance was bent
Full on the dauntless boy
And flashed there through his wonder

A CLEAN Of pride and Joy.
"Go. beat u then, Advance. advance"
The clarion call rang out
And the gallant grenadiers Of France
Took up the battle shout.
Beat on. brave boy and long and loud
The warlike music dinncd
Till fled the Austrians like a cloud
Before the wrathful wind.

Pigments Of fancy seem.
