221 Where the wounded fast are dying — Where the dead are coldly lying, Stretch'd upon their grassy biers, Claiming wakeful comrades' tears — In that mornino-'s luckless fio'ht, Stoutly fought they — nobly bled — God and their country's sacred right Fir'd their souls, and nerv'd their might, And requiem'd their spirits fled — Paid nature's debt, and duty's too — Redeem'd the pledge of fealty true, To father-land and sovereign due — Happier they than those they've left Of courage, and of hope be...reft ! Yet list ! What means that passing moan ? Is it a father's stifled groan ? Is it the wilder note of grief Of mother brooking no relief? Or sister's sobbing plaint and low ? Or brother's equal, manlier woe ? Or wife's delirium-muttered call On the form which now replies not ? Or the wailings sad which fall From the keener woe which dies not, 222 ZETLA . But o'errules in anarch sadness, Lover maiden's blighted gladness, Aching heart and streaming eye Expiring not till passes by, Life's latest, lingering, votive sigh?
