46. under the Washington Elm, Cambridge, April 27, 1861. by Oliver Wendell Holmes. I. Eighty years have passed, and more, Since under the brave old tree Our fathers gathered in arms, and swore They would follow the sign their banners bore, And fight till the land was free. II. Half of their work was done, Half is left to do-- Cambridge, and Concord, and Lexington! When the battle in fought and won, What shall be told of you? III. Hark! 'tis the south wind moans-- Who are the martyrs down?-- Ah, the marrow was true in your children's bones, That sprinkled with blood the cursed stones Of the murder-haunted town! IV. What if the storm-clouds blow? What if the green leaves fall? Better the crashing tempest's throe, Than the army of worms that gnawed below; Trample them one and all! V. Then, when the battle is won, And the land from traitors free, Our children shall tell of the strife begun When Liberty's second April sun Was bright on our brave old tree!
d. By our brothers we'll stand on the terrible field; By our brothers we'll stand, and we'll ask for no shield, By our brothers we'll stand as a torch in the dark, To shine on thy treachery,--we Joans of Arc. Behold our free plumes of the wild eagle dark; Behold them, and take our white brows for thy mark; We fear not thy cannon, we heed not thy drum; The deeper thy thunder, the stronger we come. Is woman a coward? No, no, she is brave! Oh, nothing but Love ever made her a slave; In home's happy circle she's poetry's lark, But threaten that home, and she's Joan of Arc. Oh, Abraham Lincoln, we call thee to hark! Thou Comet of Satan I thou Boast of the Dark! Take off thy red shadow from Washington's land-- Back! back! for thy footstep is slavery's brand. Future-eyed Prophecy cries to thee, DowN! For she sees on thy forehead the hope of a crown; The fire that sleeps in our Southern eyes dark, Would lighten in battle — we're Joans of Arc. Julia Mildred. --Mobile Advertiser, April 2
