95 THE SUNSET GUN.
The evening sun sets fair, The waves are hush'd and still, No wind's breath whispers in the air, No sound, save yonder rill.
And, as the crimson west, Receives the sinking sun, Slowly booms over ocean's breast The thundering sunset gun.
From where yon flag on high Twines round its firm support, It tells in echoes to the sky 'Tis guardian of yon fort.
It tells to all around The hour of labor's done ; With joy is hail'd the welcome sound That comes from yonder gun.
Where yonder... walls arise From out the sea green wave, Where oft the starry banner flies, And hearts both bold and brave ; % THE SUNSET GUN.
And, should their country call, We'd find them link'd, as one, And see them point from yonder wall Columbia's thunder gun.
Firm as a rock they stand, To guard their native shore, A true and ever ready band, Should danger on her lower.
But should their country's voice With danger fraught e're come, Those gallant ones would then rejoice To point the thunder gun.
But long may dove-eyed Peace Wave o'er our land her wings ; Oh, may her blessings never cease Mid war's dread sufferings.
