Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Washington in Wartime: Poems and Verse
To Arms! To Arms! 'we hear the cry resound The pulses of our lives give sud-den leap. As if aroused to work from drowsy sleep: The summons echoes. All the world around. And then, across the acre-stretch of ground, We hear the tramp of men, in column-s creep. Like stea-d'y waves, that soon will onward sweep And storm the barriers, with furious bound!
A bleeding nation holds her outstretched hand In far across the wave! Weld f-ast your armor! Man your noble ships! Embark your troops for that forsaken land: Succor the women: little children save, And bear the precious food to starving lips!
