e blind; Two thousand men hemmed in by six, And the rushing river behind. The rushing river behind, And the furious foe before-- Who could have ever divined That these were the perils of war? Six thousand rifles ahead, And behind them a river like Styx, Gulphing the wounded and dead-- God pity the two against six. A river as fatal as Styx, With a heart dying out on each wave, Till the blood, where the streams intermix, Is swollen with the blood of the brave. The stain of the sorrow and shame Is ver like Styx, Gulphing the wounded and dead-- God pity the two against six. A river as fatal as Styx, With a heart dying out on each wave, Till the blood, where the streams intermix, Is swollen with the blood of the brave. The stain of the sorrow and shame Is mixed with the stain of the slaughter, And the dead hearts write vainly a name On the face of the innocent water. For no one's to blame, and yet, Who issued the murderous order? We men may forgive and forget, But not the Eternal Recorder.

He's a soft sort of one, he's a slippery one-- He looks as if Nature had made him in fun. He's as noisy as juveniles full of their tricks, When they rattle the railings with riotous sticks. He's as proud as a peacock, with tail in full glory; He's as proud as a rebel, or Tennessee tory, When he boasts of a theft, or a massacre gory. He walks like a duck, or he moves around you,
