"FAUGH A BALLAUGH." 257
Mothers and sisters said " Good-by," And bade them ne'er to treason bend;
And wives, though with a tearful eye, Said, " Go, our Union's flag defend."
Our noble braves we love and bless ;
We think of them with glowing pride ; Their valor will insure success ;
Their virtues, pure, will e'er abide.
God bless and save our Luzerne boys !
Keep them when on the tented field ; Grant them the purest of all joys ;
In battle's roar from danger shield.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 3,1861. —♦— " FAUGH A BALLAUGH."
WAR-SONG FOE THE IRISH BRIGADE.
BEHOLD the banner of the brave,
Crowned with that glorious constellation — Oh ! may it long triumphant wave,
The hope of every struggling nation ; Let dastard traitors do their worst, That emblem of our country's valor 17 |
