To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
21 Beat of drums and wail of trumpets, Neigh of steeds and shouts of men, In the dark air wildly mingled, As they broke and formed again, And the bleeding, moaning wounded, On the red earth crawled about, Seeking shelter in the trenches Which the cannon balls scooped out. And the trundling wheels of cannon, As they bounded o'er the plain, Broke the limbs and crushed the corpses Of the newly fallen slain. While the empty musket, lying By the soldier on the sand, And the crimson-bladed saber, In ...the dyiiig hero's hand, 22 TEE TALISMAN OF BATTLE. Under hoof and wheel were broken, Like the brittle boughs of pines, And the wounded saw their coming, And with feeble hands made signs ; As their pale lips faintly moving Just breathed out a feeble sound, Which, amid the jar and tumult, Of this onward rush was drowned, And the great wheels thundered o'er them, And the steeds' hoofs crushing fell, As their prayers for safety ended In a pain-extorted yell. While the soldiers rushing onward, To the rapid roll of drums, Heeded not the jarring thunder, Nor the shell and bullet hums, THE TALISMAN OF BATTLE.
