One threw her arms about her boy, and said, "Good | Southward the hosts are hurrying, with banners wide

bye, my son;

God help thee do the valiant deeds thy father would

have done."

One held up to a bearded man a little child to kiss, And said, "I shall not be alone, for thy dear love and this."

And one, a rosebud in her hand, leant at a soldier's side;

Thy country weds thee first," she said, "be I thy second bride."

Oh, mothers! when, around your hearths, ye count your cherished ones,

And miss from the enchanted ring the flower of all

your sons;

Oh, wives! when o'er the cradled child ye bend at evening's fall,

And voices which the heart can hear across the distance call;

Oh, maids! when, in the sleepless nights, ye ope the little case,

And look till ye can look no more upon the proud young face,

Not only pray the Lord of Life, who measures mortal breath,

To bring the absent back unscathed out of the fire of death;

Oh, pray with that divine content which God's best favor draws,

That, whosoever lives or dics, he save his holy cause!

unfurled,

Oppression, with his iron strength, fed on the souls of men,

And License, with the hungry brood that haunt his ghastly den.

But like bright stars ye fill the eye; adoring hearts ye draw;

Oh! sacred grace of Liberty! oh, majesty of Law!

Hurrah! the drums are beating; the fife is calling shrill;

Ten thousand starry banners flame on town, and bay, and hill;

The
Thank God that we have lived to see the saffron

thunders of the rising war drown labor's peace-
ful hum;

morning come

The morning of the battle call, to every soldier dear! Oh joy! the cry is "Forward!" Oh, joy! the foe is near!

For all the crafty men of peace have failed to purge the land;

Hurrah! the ranks of battle close! God takes his cause in hand!
