O'er Gallia's hosts victorious, It turn'd their pride of yore; Its fame on earth is glorious, Renown'd from shore to shore. "The soldier's heart has bounded When o'er the tide of war; Where death's brief cry resounded, It flash'd a blazing star. Or floating over leaguer'd wall, It met his lifted eye; Like war-horse to the trumpet's call, He rush'd to victory!

Arouse thee, youth! it is no human call God's church is leaguer'd haste to man the wall; Haste where the Redcross banners wave on high, Signal of honour'd death, or victory! James Duff. Morton and his companion had attained some distance from the town before either of them addressed the other.

Mabel then smiled an adieu; and, bounding up the bank, she was soon lost to view behind the mound of the fort. Lo! dusky masses steal in dubious sight, Along the leaguer'd wall, and bristling bank, Of the arm'd river; while with straggling light, The stars peep through the vapor, dim and dank.

Arouse thee, youth! it is no human call God's church is leaguer'd haste to man the wall; Haste where the Redcross banners wave on high, Signal of honour'd death, or victory! James Duff. Morton and his companion had attained some distance from the town before either of them addressed the other.
