 " We Conquer or IMe. w 
 
 Composed by Jas. Pierpont. 
 
 The war drum is beating, prepare for the fight, 
 The stern bigot Northman exults in his might ; 
 Gird on your bright weapons, your foemen are nigh 
 . And this be our watchword, " We conquer or die." 
 
 The trumpet is sounding from mountain to shore, 
 Your swords and your lances must slumber no more, 
 Fling forth to the sunlight your banner on high, 
 Inscribed with the watchword, " We conquer or die." 
 
 Minh on the battlefield, there to do or dare, 
 "W L] shoulder to shoulder, all danger to share. 
 And let your proud watchword ring up to the sky, 
 ^Till the blue arch re-echoes, " We conquer or die." 
 
 ifii r'ress forward undaunted nor think of retreat, 
 ^"The enemy's host on the threshold to meet-; 
 "• Strike firm, till the foeman before you shall fly, 
 .Appalled by the watchword, " We conquer or die."

 When twilight approaches, the season 
 
 That ever is sacred to song,- . -' 
 Does 'some one repeat "my name over, 
 
 And sigh that 1 tarry so long? 
 And is there a chord in the ■•music 
 
 That's miss'd when, my voice is away, 
 And a chord- in each heart that awakcth 
 
 Regret at my wearisome stay, 
 
 Regret at my wearisome stay t 
 
 Do they set me a chair near the table, 
 - When ev'ning's home pleasures are nigh, 
 When the candles are lit in the parlor, 
 And the stars in the calm azure sky ? 
 And when the " good nights " are repeated, 
 
 And all lay them down to their sleep, 
 ( Do they think of the absent, and waft me 
 
 A whispered "gooil night', while they weep, 
 A whispered "good night" while they weepf 
 
 Do they miss me at home — do they miss me 
 
 . At morning, at noon, or at night, 
 
 And lingers one gloomy shade round them 
 
 That only my presence can light? 
 Are joys less invitingly welcome, 
 
 And pleasures less hale than before, 
 Because one is miss'd from the circle, ; < 
 
 Because I am with them no more, 
 
 Because I am with them no more 2

 The years creep slowly by, Lorena, 
 
 The snow is on the grass again, 
 
 The- sun's low down the sky, Lorena; 
 
 The frost gleams where the flowers' have been, 
 
 But the heart throbs on as warmly now; 
 
 As when the summer days were nigh, 
 
 Oh ! the sun can never dip so low . 
 
 Adown affection's cloudless sky. 
 
 A hundred months have passed, Lorena, 
 Since last I held that hand in mine, 
 And felt thy pulse beat fast, Lorena, 
 Though mine beat faster far than 'thine j 
 A hundred months, 'twas flow'ry'May, 
 When up the hilly slope we climbed, 
 To watch the dying of the' day, 
 And hear the distant church^bells chime. 
 
 We loved each other then, Lorena,- 
 More than we ever cared to, tell ; 
 And what we might have been, Lorena, 
 Had but our lovings prospered well ; 
 But then, 'tis past, the fears are gone, 
 I'll not call up their shadowy forms, 
 I'll say to them, "lost years sleep on. 
 Sleep on, nor heed life's pelting storm." 
 
 The story of the past, Lorena, 
 Alas ! .1 care not to repeat, 
 The hopes that could not last, Lorena, 
 They lived, but only lived to cheat ; •

 I would not cause even one regret 
 To rankle in your bosom now ; 
 For "if we try we may forget," 
 Were words of thine long years ago. 
 
 "3£es these were words of thine, Lorena, 
 They burn within my memory yet ; 
 They touched some tender chords, Lorena, 
 That tnrill and tremble with regret ; 
 'Twas not thy woman's heart that spoke, 
 Thy heart was always true to nie, 
 A duty stern and pressing broke 
 The tie which linked my soul to thee. 
 
 It matters little now, Lorena, 
 The past is in the eternal past, 
 Our heads will soon lie low, Lorena, 
 Life's tide is ebbing out so fast. 
 There is a future oh ! thank G-od4 
 Of life this is so small a part I 
 'Tis dust to dust, beneath the sod, 
 But there, tip there, 'tis heart to heart.

 I loved thee in my days of joy, 
 
 When thou wast but. a slender boy;. 
 
 I loved thee when our hearts were light, 
 
 And youth's gay charms were fond and bright; 
 
 Sweet mem'ry # o'er me casts a spell! 
 
 On those loved hours, oh let me dwell ! 
 
 "When at the sound of thy dear voice, 
 
 My cheek would flush, my ..heart rejoice. 
 
 Thine eye's sweet flash I'll ne'er forget, 
 Nor those sweet smiles when e'er we met; 
 If I were sad thy smiles would cheer — i. 
 Thou always smiled w"hen I was near. 
 But years have flown since then, and now, . 
 The stamp of manhood's on thy brow; 
 Oh ! surely we have sadly changed — 
 Fore'er our hearts are now estranged. 
 
 And now when clouds of sorrow roll, 
 And bitter griefs oppress my soul ; - 
 T"hy hand no longer dries the tear, 
 Nor wipes away the flood of care. 
 And thou may'st wed a fairer flower, 
 And bless the happy nuptial bower, 
 But will your thoughts not sometimes stray 
 To me perhaps, when far away ? 
 
 And I may be another's bride, 
 And the deep sea nlay us divide, 
 Still, still, I can not thee forget — 
 Tlove thee oh ! I love thee yet !

 The night with solemn pace moves on,

 I think of thee oh, dearest one I ...'--, ' 
 Whose love my early life hath blest ; 
 Of thee and him our baby son, 
 Who slumbers on thy gentle breast, 
 
 God of the tender, hover near 
 To her whose watchful eye is wet ; 
 The mother, wife — the doubly dear, 
 And cheer her drooping spirits yet. 
 Now while she kneels before thy Throne, 
 Oh, teach her, Ruler of the skies ! 
 No tear is [wept to thee unknown, 
 . No hair is lost, no sparrow dies ; 
 
 That thou canst stay the ruthless hand 
 Of dark disease, and soothe its pain; 
 That only by thy stern command 
 The battle's lost, the soldier slain; 
 By day, by night — in joy or woe*— 
 By fears oppressed or hopes beguiled, 
 From ever clanger, every foe, 
 Oh, God ! protect my wife and child !

 All Quiet along the Potomac To- 
 niglit. 
 
 All quiet along* the Potomac to night, 
 Except here and there a stray picket 
 Is shot, as he walks on his beat to and fro, 
 By a riflemen hid in the thicket. 
 
 'Tis nothing, a private or two now and then 
 Will not count in the news of the battle : 
 Not an officer lost, only one of the men 
 Moaning out all alone the death rattle. 
 
 " All. quiet along the Potomac to-night," . 
 While the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming 
 And their tents in the rays of the clear autum 
 
 moon, 
 And the light of the camp fires are gleaming. 
 
 A tremulous sigh as the gentle night wind 
 Thro' the forest leaves slowly is creeping, 
 While the stars up above with their glittering 
 
 eyes, • '.- • 
 
 Keep guard o'er the army while sleeping. 
 
 There's only the sound of the lone sentry's tread, 
 As he tramps from the rock to the fountain, 
 And thinks of the two on the low trundle bed, 
 Far away in the cot on the mountain. 
 
 His musket falls slack, his face dark and grim, 
 Grows gentle with memories tender, 
 A3 he mutters a prayer for ihe children asleep ; 
 And their mother — "may Heaven defend her." 
 
Then drawing his sleeves roughly over his eyes 
 He dashes off the tears that are welling, 
 And gathers his gun close up to his breast, « 
 As if to keep down the he art- swelling. 
 
 He passes the fountain, the blasted pin6 tree, 
 
 And his footstep is lagging and weary, 
 
 "Yet onward he goes, through the broad belt of 
 
 • light, % 
 
 Towards the' shades of the forest so dreary. 
 
 Hark! was it the night Wind that rustled the 
 
 leaves ? 
 Was it the moonlight, so wondrously Sashing ? 
 It looked like a rifle ! "Ha ! Mary, good bye J*' 
 And the life-blood is ebbing and splashing. 
 
 " All quiet along the Potomac to-night, " 
 
 No sound save the ruslTof the river ; 
 
 While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead, 
 
 The picket's off duty forever. 
 
 The moon seems to shine as brightly as then — 
 That night, when the Love yet unspoken," 
 Leaped up to his lips and when low murmured 
 
 vows 
 Were pledged to be ever unbroken.

 For I've laid you, darling, dgwn to sleep, 
 
 With your baby on yotir breast.

 Oh, Dixie ! the land of King 1 Cotton, 
 
 The home of the brave and the free ; 
 A nation by Freedom begotten.

 Three cheers for our President too ; 
 
 May our banner triumphantly wave 
 Over Dixie, the land of the brave I " 
 
 When Liberty sounds her war rattle. 
 
 Demanding her right and her due ; 
 The first land that rallies to battle • 
 
 Is Dixie, the home of the true.

 Dearest one, do you remember 
 
 When we last did meet ? 
 When* you told me how you loved me, 
 
 Kneeling at my feet ? 
 Oh ! how proud you stood before me,

 When you vowed from me and country 
 
 Ne'er to go astray.
