To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
c 18 But on this lovely spot when last I stood, What was that field ? — a theatre of blood ! The war-fiend here unfuii'd his baleful wing. Here mock'd at pain, and smiled at suffering ; Yelling with joy as each new victim bled, Gloated his eye on hecatombs of dead ; Steep'd his foul pinions in a sea of gore, And, drench'd with slaughter, still demanded more.
Yes, for the blue of yonder cloudless sky, Above us hung a " sulphurous canopy ;" For murmuring rill, and carol of the bird, Were whizzing... shot and roaring cannon heard ; — Bristled the bay'net, gleam'd the deadly glaive, Where thickest now the golden harvests wave ; — Where tender hare-bells bend in azure bloom, Floated the pennon with the warrior's plume ;- — For rural echoes, or the wild bee's hum, Bray'd the hoarse trumpet, roll'd the hollow drum ;- And where yon meadow's turf most verdant is, There fell the fiercest of our enemies.
19 They fell indeed ! — but with them what an host Of conqu'rors, comrades, brothers, friends, was lost !
