THE SONG OF THE SWORD. , PARADY ON THE ‘SONG OF THE SHIRT.’

Weary, and wounded, and worn, Wounded, and ready to die,

A soldier they left all alone and forlorn, On the field of the battle to lie.

The dead and the dying alone Could their presence and pity afford ;

Whilst, with a sad and a terrible tone, He sang the Song of the sword.

Fight—fight—fight!

Though a thousand fathers die; Fight—fight—fight !

Though thousands of children cry ; Fight—fight—-fight !

Woilst mothers and wives lament; And fight-—fight—fight!

Whilst millions of money are spent.

Fight—fight—fight! Should the cause be foul or fair; Though all that’s gained is an empty name And a tax too great to bear ; An empty name and a paltry fame, And thousands lying dead ; Whilst every glorious victory Must raise the price of bread.

War—war—war! Fire, and famine, and sword ; Desolate fields, and desolate towns, And thousands scattered abroad, With never a home and never a shed: Whilst kingdoms perish and fall, _ And hundreds of thonsands are lying dead, And all—for nothing at all.

. War—war—war! Musket, and powder, and ball: Ah! what do we fight so for ? Ah! why have we battles at all ? *Tis justice must be done, they say, The nation’s honor to keep; Alas! that justice is so dear, And human life so cheap.

War—war—war! Misery, murder, and crime, Are all the blessings I’ve seen in thee From my youth to the present time; Misery, murder, and crime— Crime, misery, murder, and wo: Ah! would I had known in my younger days, A tenth of what now I know!

Ah! had I but known in my happier days, in my hours of boyish glee,

A tenth of the horrors and crime of war-- A tithe of its misery !

I now had been joined to a happy band Of wife and children dear,

And [ had died in my native land, Instead of dying here.

And many a long, long day of wo, And sleepless nights untold,

And drenching rain, and drifting snow, And weariness, famine, and cold;

And worn-out limbs, and aching heart, And grief too great to tell,

And bleeding wound, and piercing smart, Had I escaped full well.

Weary wounded, and worn, Wounded, and ready to die, A soldier they left, all alone and forlorn, On the field of the battle to lie. The dead and the dying alone “ould their presence and pity afford ; Whilst thus, with a sad and a terrible tone, (Oh, would that these truths were more perfectly | known !) He sang the song of the sword.
