THE BATTLE OF BRIDGEWATER.
In imitation of Campbell's Hohenlinden.
: .
©’er Huron’s wave the sun was low,
The weary soldier watch’d the bow
Yast fading from the cloud below
The dashing of Niagara.
And while the phantbm chain’d his Sight,
+ Ah! Tittle theught heof the fight—
The horrors of the dreamless night,
| That posted on so rapidly.
Soon, soon is fied each softer charm ;
The drum and trumpet sound alarm.
And bid each warior nerve his arm,
For boldest deeds of chivalry.
The burning red-cross waving high,
Like meteorin the evening sky,
Proclaims the haughty foeman nigh
A ~~ To try the strife of rivalry.
- Columbia's banners float as proud,
Her gallant band around it crowd,
guard ormake their shroud
4 The starred flag of liberty.
~ & Haste, haste thee Scott to meet the foe,
And let the scornful Briton know,
Well styung the arm and firm the blow
, Of him who strikes for liberty.” .
Loud, loud the din of battle rings,
ll through the ranks the bullet sings,
#m boware fierce each foemen springs
Hu _MTomeet his peer in gallantry.
Behind the hills decends the sun, :
The work of death is but begun, ‘
And red through twilight’s shadow dun
Rr. hy Blazes the vollied musketry.
i 5 4 Charge, Miller, charge the foe once more.’
And loudemthan Niagara’s roar,
. Along the line is heard encore,
« On, on to death or victory.
; Prom line to line with lurid glow,
High arching shoots the rockets bow,
And lights the mi gled scene below
Of carnage, death or victory,
The middle watch has now begun,
The norrid battle fray is done,
Mor longer beats the furious drum
To death, to death or victory.
~All, ali is still—avith silent tread,
hie watchman steals among the dead,
To guard bis comrad’s lowly bed
Till morning give him sepulture.
Low in the west, of splendor shorn,
The midnight moon with bloody horn,
Sheds ber last beam 6h him forlorn
Who fell in fight so gloriously.
Oh ! long her cresent wax and wane
Ere she behold such fray again,
uch dismal night, such heaps of slain,
Foe mix’d with foc promiscuously’
