The JOY bells peal merry tune
Along the evening air
The cracking bonfres turn the sky


All crimson with their glare W
Bold music fills the startled streets


With mirth inspiring sound
/ The Gaping cannon's reddening breath


Wakes thunder shouts around,
And thousand joyful voices cry, II. ..,..
" Huzza! huzZa a Victoryio
A little girl stood at the door,


And with her kitten played;
Less wild and frolicsome than she,


That rosy, prattling maid
Sudden her cheeks turns ghastly white.


Her eyes with tears are filed, tt''
And rushing in-of-doors, she screams


"My brother Willie's killed 7"
And thousand joyful voices cry,
" Huzza! huzza a victory /"
A mother sat in thoughtful ease,


A knitting by the fire, u.
Plying the needless thrifty task


With hands that never tire.
She tore her few gray hairs, and shrieked,


"My Joy on earth is done
Oh! who willlay me in the grave2


Oh, God, my son, my son 7" ,a
And thousand joyous voices cry,

A youthful wife the threshold crossed


With matron's treasure blessed;
A smiling infant nesting lay ....,


In slumber at her breast
She spoke no word, she heaved no sigh,


The widows tale TO tell;
But like corpse, all white and stiff,


Upon the earth floor fell;
And thousand joyful voices cry; .
I" Huzza! huzza victory .
An old weak man, with head of snow,


And years three>score and ten,
Looked in upon his cabin home, .....
And anguish seized him then. 49,. I,
He spoke no word to wife or babe, !, ..'..
Matron or little maid
One scalding tear, one choking sob ....


He knelt him down and prayed, W, ,.. \.
And thousand joyful voices cry. as.
