POETICAL ADDRESS *

TO THE RETURNED SOLDIERS, AT TOWN HALL, WOODBURY, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUG. 16, 1865.

BY ALONZO NORTON LEWIS.

King Solomon, known as the wisest of men,

Found "three things," nay "four," too deep for his ken.
Without stopping to name them, (you know what they were,)
There is one thing, to-night, I can't get thro' my hair!

It is this: why a man, without laurels and scars
Was chosen to welcome you home from the wars.
(Or rather receive, in behalf of the fair

These guests, who, to-night, are our pris'ners of war.)
It should have been one, who, in Freedom's dread van,
Has stood up at the front, and not "sent a man!"
It should have been one, who, in Battle's fierce ire
Himself has received the baptism of fire!
Such an one am not I:-the rod's peaceful whack,
Not the cannon's deep boom and rifle's shrill crack,
Has rung on my ear thro' the four weary years
That have shrouded the Nation in mourning and tears!
To "teach young ideas," not soldiers, to "shoot,"
Has been my employ--I ought, then, to be mute,
While you, whose grim faces are bronzed by the sun
Of the South, where battles and forts have been won,
Describe what you've seen-tell what you have done!

But why was I chosen to welcome you here

To all these fair faces, to all this good cheer?

I have it 'tis this! Since the sex men call "weak,"

In public, by Paul, are forbidden to speak,

They have hit upon me, not for my heroism,

But because, when you went, I—staid at home with 'em!
