Annie Chambers Ketchum. TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THAT late, in half-despair, I said: The Nations ancient life is dead ;Her arm is weak; her blood is cold ;She hugs the peace that gives her gold—The shameful peace, that sees expireEach beacon-light of patriot fire,And makes her court a traitors den,—Forgive me this, my Countrymen ! Oh, in your long forbearance grand,Slow to suspect the treason planned,Enduring wrong, yet hoping goodFor sake of olden brotherhood,How grander, how sublimer far,At the roused Eagles call ye are,Leaping from slumber to the fightFor Freedom and for Chartered Right \. NAVAL HEROES OF THE CIVIL WAR. POEMS OF THE CIVIL WAR. 41 Throughout the land there goes a cry :A sudden splendor fills the sky;From every hill the banners burst,Like buds by April breezes nurst;In every hamlet, home, and mart,The fire-beat of a single heartKeeps time to strains whose pulses mixOur blood with that of Seventy-Six! Draw forth your million blades as one!Complete the battle then begun!God fights with ye, and overheadFloats the dear banner of your , and the glories of the Past,The Future, dawning dim and vast,And all the holiest hopes of man,Are beaming triumph in your van ! Slow to resolve, be swift to do !Teach ye the False how fight the True !How bucklered Perfidy shall feelIn her black heart the Patriots steel;How sure the bolt that Justice wings;How weak the arm a traitor brings;How mighty they, who steadfast standFor Freedoms Flag and Freedoms Land !Bayard Taylor.
