[This is the Sea-beach—here was the victory!]
This is the Sea-beach—here was the victory!
Here fought the heroes—struggled the brave.—
Plaintively murmurs the wind in the loneliness;
Plaintively breaks the desolate wave!
Here fought the heroes—struggled the brave.—
Plaintively murmurs the wind in the loneliness;
Plaintively breaks the desolate wave!
Here there was shouting; here shrieking and groaning;
Here shed the heroes their glorious gore!—
Plaintively breaks the billow unlistened to,
Mournfully lapping the solitary shore!
Here shed the heroes their glorious gore!—
Plaintively breaks the billow unlistened to,
Mournfully lapping the solitary shore!
