CHAPTER XIV.
"My country's standard waved on yonder height;
Her red-eross banner England there display'd;
And there the German, who, for foreign fight,
Had left his own domestic hearth, and made
War, with its horrors and its blood, a trade,
Amid the battle stood; and, all the day,
The bursting bomb, the furious cannonade,
The bugle's martial notes, the musket's play,
In mingled uproar wild resounded far away.
