WAR
War! how I hate thy horrid name,
Thy Russian steel, thy deeds of shame;
When rushing with resistless force,
Thou urgest on thy furious course,
. . . [4 more lines]
The dying parent's parting groan,
The helpless orphan's wailing tone,
The infant scream of virgin fear,
Are music to thy savage ear.---
. . . [2 more lines.]
