To life, at that woman’s deed and word.

“Who touches a hair on yon grey head,

Dies like a dog. March on!” he said.

All day long through Frederick street

Sounded the tread of marching feet;

All day long the free flag tossed

Over the heads of the rebel host;

Ever its torn folds rose and fell

On the loyal winds, that loved it well;

And through the hill-gaps sunset light
