Last spring, when Frank had fed the ploughed and harrowed ground with seed, A fearful cry tore by us with the South wind's winged speed; But we hoped it was a nightmare, till the news was brought from town, That the horde of Charleston traitor-knaves had shot our banner down. In my bitter grief and anguish keen, I felt the ancient ire Of Bunker Hill and Lexington course through my veins like fire, Till, as lightnings cease when breaks the dark cloud's heart upon the land, I wept when, on my thin gray locks, I felt Frank's manly hand, And saw my grandsire's musket gleam within his clenched grip, And read the clear and stern gray eye that chid the quivering lip; Read that the eye would smile no more until it saw the foe, Whilst the lips were loth to shape the words, “Dear mother, I must go.” So I sealed them with a kiss, dried up my tears, and filled his sack, And, at dawn, upon his home my only darling turned his back.

us rudely chasina The pompous ambassador, C. S. A. Mason! Ah, the proud Minister Cometh to grief; With prospects so brilliant, How wonderful brief His life diplomatic-- All smoothly it runs, Till over his pathway It bloweth great guns! A sorry denouement This, brave F. F. V.; Thy fondest hopes blasted, Thy plans all at sea! You dreamed not of capture, While with Johnny Bull; You thought if we tried it, We'd have our hands full! But when Uncle Samuel Appeared on your track, And gave you his thunder, To which you knocked under, O! is it a wonder You were taken aback?
