( 156 )
At length "Sir Colin" — destin'd to command,
Brought timely succour, to the gallant band.
Who five long mouths hemm'd in on every side,
Yet still undaunted, battled with the tide!
The storm's now passed, behold'tis calm again,
No adverse Armies battle on the plain!
No more is heard the iron tramp of War,
Or belching cannon thund'ring from afar!
But Art and Science, Peace and Joy are here,
While sweet soft music falls upon the ear!
K. M. Nicholson.
