To sweep, with summer breeze, the lake, In the night wind a bivouac make, Beneath the starry arch ; To scout, in underwood and brake, Would be a pleasure-march !
So, to an English eye, our country's cause would fail, (The hurried ending of a tale Told overnight,) When brave Burgoyne set sail.
Our countrymen that season lay As men that wake in night, but fear the day.
The leaguer-fires of Bunker Hill Were yet scarce trodden out ; and still 8 BURGOYNE'S march.
There were true men, whose steadfast... will Set all it had at stake ; Would never bow to might of ill : Rather their country's soil would fill With clay of heroes' make.
St. Glair and Schuyler had trod back The long road of retreat ; The foe was hard upon their track, And, foot by foot — as waters roll — So, following foot by foot, he stole Their country from beneath their feet.
Grown Point, Ticonderoga, fell ; Fort George, Fort Edward — need we tell Stout Warner's gloomy overthrow ?
Or the great loss at Skenesborough ?
Let our hearts honor, as they can, Schuyler, the generous gentleman.
