THE FALLEN HEROES OF MONTEREY.

ANONYMOUS.

THE remains of the gallant officers who fell at Monterey, in Mexico, have been brought to their homes, to be mingled with their kindred dust under their native skies.

[blocks in formation]

The battle's din has ceased

The proud victory's shout is hushed

But sorrow mingles in that joy,

For many a hope is crushed.

Strewed o'er that warring field,

Mangled and cold, there lay

The brave, the young, our country's boast;
Ah! fearful was the fray!

Late, and amidst those lines,

We saw the phalanx stand,

With waving banners-lances high,
Impatient of command.
