Which way they moved our front the same.
Sore galled and thinned came Butler’s men,
With a bayonet charge to clear the glen,
And gallantly we met them then.
Our wrath upon the curs to deal,
There, hand to hand and steel to steel,
We made their close-set column reel.
Fiercely we fought ’mid fire and smoke,
With rifle shot and hatchet stroke,
When over our heads the thunder broke.
