On they came: they yelped, and fired; His spirit sped; We leveled right in, and the half breeds fled, Nor stayed the iron, Nor captured the crimson corse of Lyon. ON THEY CAME THEY YELPED AND FIRED HIS SPIRIT SPED WE LEVELLED RIGHT IN AND THE HALF BREEDS FLED NOR STAYED THE IRON NOR CAPTURED THE CRIMSON COURSE OF LION
rse the Leader led along the line-- Star-browed Orion; Bitterly fearless, he rallied us there, brave Lyon. There came a sound like the slitting of air By a swift sharp sword-- A rush of the sound; and the sleek chest broad Of black Orion Heaved, and was fixed; the dead mane waved toward Lyon. “General, you’re hurt--this sleet of balls!” He seemed half spent; With moody and bloody brow, he lowly bent: “The field to die on; But not--not yet; the day is long,” breathed Lyon. For a time becharmed there fell a lull In the heart of the fight; The tree-tops nod, the slain sleep light; Warm noon-winds sigh on, And thoughts which he never spake had Lyon. Texans and Indians trim for a charge: “Stand ready, men! Let them come close, right up, and then After the lead, the iron; Fire, and charge back!” So strength returned to Lyon. The Iowa men who held the van, Half drilled, were new To battle: “Some one lead us, then we’ll do” Said Corporal Tryon: “Men! _I_ will lead,” and a light glared in Lyon.
