" Shoot, if you must, this old gray head, But spare your country's flag," she said. A shade of sadness, a blush of shame, Over the face of the leader came ; The nobler nature within him stirr'd To life at that woman's deed and word. u Who touches a hair of yon gray head Dies like a dog ! March on !" he said- All day long through Frederick street Sounded the tread of marching feet; All day long that free flag toss'd Over the heads of the rebel host. Ever its torn folds rose and fell On the loyal... winds that loved it well ; 100 AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR. And, through the hill-gaps, sunset light Shone over it with a warm good-night. Barbara Frietchie's work is o'er, And the rebel rides^on his raids no more. Honor to her ! and let a tear Fall, for her sake, on Stonewall's bier. Over Barbara Frietchie's grave, Flag of Freedom and Union, wave ! Peace and order and beauty draw Round thy symbol of light and law ; And ever the stars above look down On thy stars below in Frederick town. Jlit Ittritatt at tire SHar.
