. When the American forces under Gen Taylor
stoFmed Monterey, d Mexican woman was seen
going about among the wounded Of both armies
binding up their wounds and suppl lying Them with
food and water While thus employed she fell
She was next day buried BY ihe Americans amid
an incessant discharge Of shot from the Mexican
batteries. asss% ii7st ~ 81 H'


The strife was stern at Monterey, i


When those high towers were lost and won,


And pealing through that mortal fray,
=5 Flashd the strong battery's vengeful gun


Yet, needless Of its deadly rain,


She stood in toll and danger first,


To bind the bleeding soldiers vein,


And slake the dying soldiers thirst. ~.
She found apale and stricken foe,


Sinking in natures last eclipse, s


And, on the red earth kneeling low,
s-Eez: She wethis parched and fever'd lips; - fE
nf.a9 When, thick as winters driving .sleet,
The booming shot and flaming she'll,


Swept with wild rage that CORY street, .sa~SEs
a And she-the good and gentle-fell. zs-x1
They laid her in her narrow bed, ~. TOO


The foemen of her land and race;


And sighs were breath'd, and tears were shed, -


Above her lowy resting place . s.4r.r--.a G.


All glory's crimson worshppers ...s sa.-s


Wept over her untimely fall, .ss.sFe .ss
For deeds of mercy, such as hers, .,.-s.ss7.1
~ Subdue the hearts and eyes of all. ..-sr -s
n. To sound her worth were guilt and shame
.--- In US, who love but gold and ease 80


They heed alike UR praise or blame,
sa'e Who live and die in works like these. -.


Far greater than the wise or brave,


Far happier than the fair and gay, -l
= Was she who found martyrs grave
On that red field of Monterey. ~
