A Message.

To the men who fought with Decatur.
TO the men who with Lawrence died,
To the men who fell in that blazing hell
OF Mobile by Farraguts side;
Take to them our message stern and plain
Tell them the guns are cast loose, again,
Men OF the Mainel
This to the men of the ships Of oak
From the OF the ships OF steel,
To the hearts that broke mid the fame and
smoke
From the living hearts that feel,
There is no mizzen, FORE nor main.
But all OF the flags are aloft again,
Men of the Maine!
Not against foes OF our own true blood.
Nor kin across the sea,
But straight in the face of a stranger raca
Who never, like you, were free.
Tell them tbs thus chat our guns we train.
And the sights are lined, and the strings
astran
Men of the Maine!
Take them these tidngs sc who sleep
Meath the murky waves by the Cuban town.
The blow in the night but began the fight
Which ends when the Spanish flag comes down.
And guns shall thunder their old refrain
Tolling your llrell from hereto Spain.
