lies dead upon the field, Who strove to stay those men that in the storm of bullets reeled ; Now, Washington, fire fast and true ! fire, Sherman, fast and far: Lo ! Bragg comes thundering to the front to breast the adverse war ; Sant' Anna thinks the day is gain'd ; on, on, his masses crowd, And the din of battle rises up more terrible and loud. Not yet ! our brave old General comes he will regain the day Kentucky, to the rescue ! Mississippi, to the fray ! Now, charge, brave Illinoisans ! and ...Davis drives the foe, And back upon his rifles the red waves of lancers flow ; Upon them, yet once more, my braves ! the avalanche is stay'd, Back rolls the Mexique multitude, all broken and dismay'd. Ho ! May ! to Buena Vista ! for the enemy is near, And we have none there who can stop their vehement career. Still swelling, downward comes the tide Porter and Yell are slain ; Marshall before him drives a part, but still they charge in vain ; And now, in wild confusion mixed, pursuers and pursued, On to Saltillo wildly drift, a frantic multitude.
