The Old Yoke and Chain

By John Brown
How came YOU here, old yoke and chain,
Ye relic of by-gone days.
= Reminder thou of toll and pain,
OF hopes and fears long passed away:
Didst thou from eastern home fare fotth
In early morn at break OF day.
Or camest thou from south north,
To toll along this upland way
Or did YOU come with soldier bold,
To pull along the needed load.
Or were YOU here in search OF gold
ITpOn this weary western road:
Say. speak and tell us Of that day
When Scouting Toe brought IN the word
The savage foe had bourn this way
And all must fight to reach the ford. /
Did hearts grow faint with lear and dread.
Or did they beat with measured time:
' IS men went forth with steady tread
Resolved at once to die or do:
Md tell us how the battle Jared.
And which side won the bloody day.
And who was slain and who was spared
Aud who in triumph marched away.
