By solid columns, on they come; by columns they are hurled,As down the eddying rapids the storm-swept booms are whirled;And when the ammunition fails—O moment drear and dread—The heroes load their blackened guns from rounds of soldiers dead. God never set His signet on the hearts of braver men,Or fixed the goal of victory on higher heights than then;With bayonets and muskets clubbed, they close the rush and roar;Their stepping-stones to glory are their comrades gone before.
