By banners in the red field borne—

By hearts from bleeding bosoms torn—

By hate-lit eye—and lowering brow—

By lifted hand—and solemn vow—

I charm thee from repose—and doom

Thine ashes to a restless tomb,

Till from the shelter of the grave

Thy hand shall give the boon I crave!

By this o’ershadowing vine, whose stem

Gives to the wind thy requiem—
