"We have heard his low cry afar,

We have felt the self-same chain,

And we've come, my friends, through peace or war,

To make the land of the Union Star

The land without a stain."

THE SPIRIT OF THE SOUTH.

"Go home to your native soil,

Ye sons of the Celtic brave;

You will have to fight till the last man falls

To free the Southern slave."

BURKE OF THE BRAVE BRIGADE.

"We have come to this fight to-day

With no maiden, bloodless blade;

We have come to fight till the last man falls,"

Said Burke of the Brave Brigade.

"We have felt of an iron heel,

We have known a tyrant's hand,

We have come to fight till the Rebels reel

From the shotted shell of our cannon peal,
