NEW YORK PUBLIC Monody ON MAJOR ANDRÈ. LOUD howls the storm! the vex'd Atlantic roars! Thy Genius, Britain, wanders on its shores! And groans of anguish, 'mid the shrieks of war! B Bids haggard Winter, in her drear sojourn, spear; [car, Then, in her place, bids vengeance mount the And glut with gore th'insatiate dogs of war! With one pale hand the bloody scroll he rears, And bids his nations blot, it with their tears; And one, extended o'er th' Atlantic wave, Points to his Andrè's ignominious grave! + Bloody Scroll.-The Court-Martial decree, signed at Tappan, for Major Andrè's execution. |
