The Seminole's Defiance.

G. W. PATTEN,

1. Blaze, with your serried columns! I will not bend the knee: The shackle ne'er again shall bind the arm which now is

I've mailed it with the thunder, when the tempest muttered

low;

And where it falls, ye well may dread the lightning of its

blow. I've scared you in the city, I've scalped you on the plain; Go,count your chosen where they fell beneath my leaden rain! I scorn your proffered treaty; the pale-face I defy; Revenge is stamped upon my spear, and “ blood” my bat

tle-cry! 2. Some strike for hope of booty; some to defend their all

I battle for the joy I have to see the white man fall.
I love, among the wounded, to hear his dying moan,
And catch, while chanting at his side, the music of his groan.
You've trailed me through the forest; you've tracked me

o'er the stream; And struggling through the everglade your bristling bayo

nets gleam. But I stand as should the warrior, with his rifle and his spear; The scalp of vengence still is red, and warns you—“Come

not here!” 3. Think ye to find my homestead?—I gave it to the fire.

My tawny household do you seek!—I am a childless sire. But, should you crave life's nourishment, enough I have, and

good; I live on hate—'tis all my bread; yet light is not my food. I loathe you with my bosom! I scorn you with mine eye! And I'll taunt you with my latest breath, and fight you till

I die! I ne'er will ask for quarter, and I ne'er will be your slave; But I'll swim the sea of slaughter till I sink beneath the wave!

Bugle Song.

ALFRED TENNYSON.

1. The splendor falls on castle walls,
And snowy summits old in story;
The long light shakes across the lakes,
And the wild cataract leaps in glory.

Blow, bugle, blow; set the wild echos flying;
Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.

2. O hark, O hear! how thin and clear,

And thinner, clearer, farther going;
O sweet and far, from cliff and scar,
The horns of Elf-land faintly blowing!

Blow; let us hear the purple glens replying;
Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.

3. O love, they die in yon rich sky,

They faint on field, on hill, on river;
Our echoes roll from soul to soul,

And grow forever and forever.

Blow, bugle, blow; set the wild echoes flying,
And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying, dying.

Falsetto ? 7. What form and quality do the words, “Blow, bugle, blow,”

require ? 8. Why?
