THE BATTLE OF LUNDY'S LANE
Rufus Gale speaks—1852
Yes,—in the Lincoln Militia,—in the war of eighteen-twelve;
Many's the day I've had since then to dig and delve—
But those are the years I remember as the brightest years of all,
When we left the plow in the furrow to follow the bugle's call.
Why, even our son Abner wanted to fight with the men!
Don't you go, d'ye hear, sir! —I was angry with him then.
