Each stepping where his comrade stood, The instant that he fell. No thought was there of dastard flight ; Link'd in the serried phalanx tight. Groom fought like noble, squire like knight, As fearlessly and well ; Till utter darkness closed her wing O'er their thin host and wounded King. Then skilful Surrey's sage commands Led back from strife his shatter'd bands ; "5 BATTLE POEMS AND PATRIOTIC VERSES And from the charge they drew, As mountain-waves, from wasted lands. Sweep back to ocean blue. ...Then did their loss his foemen know ; Their King, their Lords, their mightiest low. They melted from the field as snow. When streams are swoln and south winds blow. Dissolves in silent dew. Tweed's echoes heard the ceaseless plash, While many a broken band, Disorder'd, through her currents dash. To gain the Scottish land ; To town and tower, to down and dale, To tell red Flodden's dismal tale, And raise the universal wail. Tradition, legend, tune and song. Shall many an age that wail prolong : Still from the sire the son shall hear Of the stern strife, and carnage drear.
