Who heard the thunder of the fray Break o'er the field beneath, Knew well the watchword of that day Was " Victory or Death. " Long had the doubtful conflict raged O'er all that stricken plain, For never fiercer fight had waged The vengeful blood of Spain ; And still the storm of battle blew, Still swelled the gory tide ; Not long, our stout old chieftain knew, Such odds his strength could bide. 'T was in that hour his stern command Called to a martyr's grave The flower of his beloved land, The ...nation's flag to save. By rivers of their fathers' gore His firstborn laurels grew, And well he deemed the sons would pour Their lives for glory too. Full many a norther's breath has swept O'er Angostura's plain, And long the pitying sky has wept Above its mouldered slain. The raven's scream, or eagle's flight, Or shepherd's pensive lay, Alone awakes each sullen height That frowned o'er that dread fray. 266 Poetry of the People Sons of the Dark and Bloody Ground, Ye must not slumber there, Where stranger steps and tongues resound Along the heedless air.
