First & Final Verses:
Oh dark the day, and dark the hour
When treason in her height of power
With all her gathered legions came, To waste the North with sword and flame!
Right onward, swift, exultant, proud
Up to yon chain of hills they crowd,
The rocky hills of Gettysburg.
In nameless graves the traitors sleep,
Where none shall ever come to weep;
But for her martyred sons, with tears,
A monument the nation rears
And age to age shall pass it down
The story of their bright renown
And everlasting fame shall crown
The rocky hills of Gettysburg.
Superb piece for Gettysburg aficionados. [JP]
