To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Digiti ized by Google THE COLONEL'S SHIELD.
^\70UR picture, slung about my neck The day we went afield, Swung out before the trench ; It caught the eye of rank and file.
Who knew " The Colonel's Shield." I thrust it back, and with my men (Our General rode ahead) We stormed the great redoubt, As if it were an easy thing.
But rows of us fell dead !
Your picture hanging on my neck, Up with my men I rushed ; We made an awful charge : 70 Digiti ized by Google THE COLONELS SHIELD 71 And then my horse..., " The Lady Bess," Dropped, and — my leg was crushed !
The blood of battle in my veins (A blue-coat dragged me out), — But I remembered you ; I kissed your picture — did you know ?
And yelled, " For the redoubt ! " The Twenty-fourth, my scarred old dogs.
Growled back, " He '11 put us through ; We '11 take him in our arms : Our picture there — the girl he loves.
Shall see what we can do." The foe was silenced — so were we.
I lay upon the field.
Among the Twenty-fourth ; Your picture, shattered on my breast, Had proved "The Colonel's Shield." Digiti ized by Google A FEW IDLE WORDS.
