The cannon reply; they speak the heart Of the People impassioned, and say   A city in flags for a city in flames, Richmond goes Babylon's way   _Sing and pray.

African--the imp! He gibbers, imputing shame. Shall Time, avenging every woe, To us that joy allot Which Israel thrilled when Sisera’s brow Showed gaunt and showed the clot? Curse on their foreheads, cheeks, and eyes-- The Northern faces--true To the flag we hate, the flag whose stars Like planets strike us through. From frozen Maine they come, Far Minnesota too; They come to a sun whose rays disown-- May it wither them as the dew! The ghosts of our slain appeal: “Vain shall our victories be” But back from its ebb the flood recoils-- Back in a whelming sea. With burning woods our skies are brass, The pillars of dust are seen; The live-long day their cavalry pass-- No crossing the road between. We were sore deceived--an awful host! They move like a roaring wind. Have we gamed and lost? but even despair Shall never our hate rescind. The Fall of Richmond. The tidings received in the Northern Metropolis. (April, 1865.) What mean these peals from every tower, And crowds like seas that sway?
