THE BROKEN MUG.
. ODE ON A LATE MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT IN TI1K
SHENANDOAH VALLEY.
My mug is broken, my heart is sad 1
What woes can fate srill hold in store?
The friend 1 cherished a thousand days
Is smashed to pieces on the floor!
Is shattered and to Lumbo gone,
I'll sec my mug no more !
Relic it was of joyous hours
Whose golden memories still allure?
When coffee made of rye we drank,
And grey was all the dress we wore!
When we were paid some cents a mouth
Hut never ask'd for more.
In marches long by day and night,
In raids, hot charges,^snocks of war,
Strapped on the eaddle at my back
This faithful comrade still I boie?
This old companion true and tried,
I'll never carry more !
Bright days ! when young in heart and hope
The pulse leaned at the words 'La (Jforic."
When the grey people cried?" hot tight!
Why we have one to four !"
When but to see the focmen's fare
Was all they asked?no more.
From the Rapidan to Gettysburg
Hard bread' behind 'Sour Krout' before
This friend went with the cavalry
And heard the jarring cannon toar
In front of Cemetery Hill?
Good Heavens ! how they did roar.
Then back again, the foe behind,
Rack to the "old Virginia shore,"
Some dead and wounded left?some holes
In flags the sullen grey backs bore ;
Tliis mug had made the great campaign
And we' 1 had gone once more !
Alas ! we never went again !
The red cross banner, slow but sure
" Fell back"?we bade to sour Krout
(Like the love of Lcnore)
A long, snd. lingering farewell?
To tasc its joys no more.
But still we fought and ate hard bread
Or starved?good friend our \vm- deplore
An.I still till.! fViill.tnl fri....,l vm
Hiding behind uio a* before?
The friend on march, in bivouac,
When others were no more.
How oft wc drove the horseman blue
In summer bright or wintry fro re!
IIow oft before the Southern charge
Thro' field and wood the blue birds lore!
I'm " harmonised" to day, but ^link
I'd like to charge once more.
Oh yes! we're all "fraternal'' now
Purged of our sins we're clean and puro,
Congress will " reconstruct" us so n ?
Hut no grey people on that floor !
I'm harmonized?"so called '?but long
To see those times once mote.
Gay days ! the sun was brighter then,
And we were happy though so poor !
That past comes back as 1 behold,
My shattered friend upon the tloor,
My splintered, useless, ruined mug,
From which I'll drink no more.
How many lips I'll love for aye,
While heart and memory endure,
nave touched this broken cup and laughed?
How they did laugh?in days of yore !
Those days we'd call n "beauteous dream
ff they hud been no more!"
Dear comrades, dead this many a day !
I saw you weltering in your gore
After those days amid the pines
On the Happahannock sin.re!
When the joy of life was much to mo,
Hut your warm hearts were more!
Tours was the grand heroic nerve,
That laughs amid I lie storm of war?
Souls that "loved much'' your native land,
Who fought and died therefor !
You gave your youth, your brains, your
arms,
Your blood?you had no more !
You lived and died true to your flag!
And now your wounds arc healed?but
sore
Are many hearts that think of you,
When you have "gone "before,"
Peace, comrade! God hound up those forms
They nro "Whole" forovermore!
Those lips this broken vessel touched,
His too !?the rnuti wc all adore?
That cavalier of cavaliers,
Whose voice will ring no more,
Whose plume will float amid the storm
Of battle never more !
Not on this idle page I write
ti..i ......... ..r ? . i.-:?i .i.~
J IM< iwtiui: '?? itititliTf* rill IIIV'I ill lit'"
Of every heart I peace 1 foolish pen,
Hush ! words so cold and poor !
llis sword is rust; the blue eye dmi,
ilis bugle sounds no more!
Vet even here wvilo this, lfc charged
As ltupcrl, in the years before,
And when nis stern hard work was done,
His griefs, joys, battles o'er?
llis mighty spirit rode the storm,
And led his men onoe more !
He lies beneath his natne s i,
Where violets spring i>r frost is hoar;
Re rocks not?charging squadrons watch
His raven plutnc u > in re,
That smile we'll sec, that voice we'll hoar,
That hand we'll touch no more.
My foolish mirth is quenched iu tears ;
Poor fragments strewed upon the floor,
You are a type ot' nobler things,
That find their use no more ?
Tilings glorious once, now trodden down?
That make us smile no more!
Of courage, pride, high hopes, -tout hearts,
Hard stubborn nerve, devotion pure,
Heating his wings against the liars,
The prisoned eagle tried to soar!
Out matched, o'er whelmed, we snuggled still
Hread failed?wo fought no more.
Lies in the dust the shattered stair.
That bore aloft on sea and shore,
That blazing tlag, amid the storiu!
And none are now so poor?
So poor to do it reverence,
Now when it tlanios no mare!
But it is glorious in tlio dust.
Snored till time shall l>o no more,
Spore it, fierce editors, your scorn,
The dreod Rebellion's" o'er!
Furl the yrcat jlay ? hide cross and star,
Thrust into darkness star and bar,
But look ! across the ages far
It flames forevcriuoro !
