r may come again. The widow clasps the fatherless in silent, speechless grief, Or weeps as if in floods of tears the soul could find relief; The Old Dominion weeps, and mourns full many a gallant son, Who sleeps upon that fatal field beside that craggy run. Oh, matrons of Virginia! with you has been the blame; It was for you to bend the twig before its ripeness came ;-- For you a patriot love to form, a loyal mind to nurse; But ye have left your task undone, and now ye feel the curse. Think ye Virginia can stand and bar the onward way Of Freedom in her glorious march, and conquer in the fray? Have ye so soon the truths forgot which Washington let fall, To cherish Freedom ever, and Union above all? Go to! for thou art fallen, and lost thy high estate,-- Forgotten all thy glories; ignoble be thy fate! Yet from the past's experience a lesson may be won: Though all thy fields be steeped in blood, still Freedom's march is on. Glen Ridge, July 27, 1861. --Boston Transcript, July 30.
