THE BALLAD OF THE SEVEN

FOR The Pos,
They kissed with lannon's breath,
And cheers that rang to Heaven,
They kissed them down to death,
Those sweet coquettes, the Seven!
Manila ward they sailed
\ And struck Cavite al even
The spanish battery hailed,
) And hailed again, the seven
They slipped along at dark
Beneath the dusky heaven;
Hell-spawn torpedo spark!
What cared the dauntess Seven
The fre.hill sloped away
) In front the lurking 'leven--
As lions to their prey
, They sped, the happy Seven
Their cannon roared along
And sang a tune to Heaven
The wide world heard the song
Sung by the tunefu Seven
, They smote them on the hip
The tropic air was rven-
And racked them, ship on ship,
The flaming sisters Seven
AS clouds with stoum.fre brayed2
Wind watt and thunder.driven.
Firepied and plumecf, each maid,
Fire-fed and fanged, the seven
They smote them, hip and thigh,
With rack and ruin riyen,
The wrath Of God beat high
And pulsed the quiv'rDg Seven.
And shifting, smote for God
For slaves from slavery saven-
And tyrants felt His rod
Who sent the holy Seven.
Remembering the Maine
BY midnight murder stricken.
Guest en- the threshold slain
0, hot of heart, the Seven!
Word without end-Ameu-
BE that brave story given
How wrought they, there and then.
They, the immortal Seven!
Arthur Applewhite.
