ad to drive the spade! There, in great trenches and holes, (Ah! God rest their poor souls!) We piled some fifteen hundred, Where that last charge was made! Sad enough, I must say. No mother to mourn and search, No priest to bless or to pray-- We buried them where they lay, Without a rite of the church-- But our eagle, all that day, Stood solemn and still on his perch. 'Tis many a stormy day Since, out of the cold, bleak North, Our Great War Eagle sailed forth To swoop o'er battle and fray. Many and many a day O'er charge and storm hath he wheeled-- Foray and foughten-field-- Tramp, and volley, and rattle!-- Over crimson trench and turf, Over climbing clouds of surf, Through tempest and cannon-rack, Have his terrible pinions whirled-- (A thousand fields of battle! A million leagues of foam!) But our Bird shall yet come back, He shall soar to his eyrie-home-- And his thunderous wings be furled, In the gaze of a gladdened world, On the Nation's loftiest Dome. H. H. B. December, 1862.
mith's right arm! Stand like the noble oak-tree, when 'tis eaten By the Saperda and his ravenous swarm! For many smiths will strike the ringing blows, Ere the red drama now enacting close; And human insects, gnawing at thy fame, Conspire to bring thy honored head to shame. Stand like the firmament, upholden By an invisible but Almighty hand! He whomsoever justice doth embolden, Unshaken, unseduced, unawed shall stand. Invisible support is mightier far, With noble aims, than walls of granite are; And simple consciousness of justice gives Strength to a purpose while that purpose lives. Stand like the rock that looks defiant Far o'er the surging seas that lash its form! Composed, determined, watchful, self-reliant, Be master of thyself, and rule the storm! And thou shalt soon behold the bow of peace Span the broad heavens, and the wild tumult cease; And see the billows, with the clouds that meet, Subdued and calm, come crouching to thy feet. W. D. Gallagher. Kentucky, December, 1862.
