8 TESTVÉRISÉG Over them the volleys crash Thro’ the trees like a whirlwind, They pass through the fire of death, Pant riders and steels for breath, “HALT!” cried the Captain Then he looked up the hill, There on the summit still The “Third Company” paltered, Right through the fire of hell, Where fifty brave Guardsmen fell, Zagonyi had ridden well, Foley had faltered. Flashed like a flame of fire — Flashed with a menace dire — Flashed with a yell ■ of ire The sword of the Captain. Kennedy saw the flash, And ordered the “Third” to dash Gallantly forward: “Come on, Boys, for Liberty! Forward, and follow me! Remember Kentucky!” Into the hell they broke — Into the fire and smoke — Dealing swift saber — stroke — The gallant Kentuckians, Horses plunge Heavily forward, Over the fallen they ride Down to Zagonyi’s side Moving a swath of death Either side, — right and left Piling the slaughtered! Streams on the wind his hair, Flashes his saber bare, On they go-on they go, Volleys flash, Sabers clash, On they plunge, on they dash, Following Zagonyi Into the hell again. Hand to hand fight and die Infantry, cavalry, Grappled and mixed they lie, — Infantry, cavalry, Hurra! — the Rebels fly! Bravo! — Three Hundred! “Forward and follow me!” Shouted the Captain, “Union and Liberty!” All the Guards thundered, With mad hearts and sabers stout Into the Rebel-rout Gallop the Guardsmen, Thunderling their cry again, Cleaving their foes in twain, Piling the heaps of slain Sabered and sundered, Three hundred foes they stayed, Glorious the charge they made, Victoriouss the charge they made — The gallant Three Hundred! Let the Crowns-Poet paid Sing of the “Light Brigade” And “The wild charge they made” When “Some one had blundered, Under the storm of lead, Still hissing overhead, They re-formed the battle-line: Then the brave Captain said: “Guardsmen: avenge our dead! CHARGE!” — Up the hill they go, Right into the swarming foe! Woe to the foemen-woe! See mad Zagonyi there. Follozoing the British Bard, I sing of the Body-Guard — The Heroes tlzat fought so hard — Where nobody blundered. Hail, brave Zagonyi-hail! All hail, the Body-Guard! — The glorious — The victorious — The invincible Three Hundred. — MEGJELENT! MEGJELENT!
