To arms ! Exultant pride soon banish sorrow ; Smiles chase tears away to-morrow. To arms ! To arms ! To arms, in Dixie ! Advance the flag of Dixie ! Hurrah ! hurrah ! For Dixie's land we take our stand, And live or die for Dixie ! To arms ! To arms ! And conquer peace for Dixie ! To arms ! To arms ! And conquer peace for Dixie ! ROSSITER WORTHINGTON RAYMOND. Rossiter Worthington Raymond was born at Cin- cinnati, Ohio, April 27, 1840. He is known rather as a scientist than as a man of letters, b...ut among other writings he has composed several war-ballads. Of these his Cavalry Song is the best. CAVALRY SONG. Our bugles sound gayly. To horse and away ! And over the mountains breaks the day ; Then ho ! brothers, ho ! for the ride or- the fight, There are deeds to be done ere we slumber to-night ! And whether we fight or whether we fall By sabre-stroke or rifle ball, The hearts of the free will remember us yet. And our country, our country will never forget ! Then mount and away ! let the coward delight To be lazy all day and safe all night ; Our joy is a charger, flecked with foam, And the earth is our bed and the saddle our home ; And whether we fight, etc.
