AN ARMY CORPS ON THE MARCH.
8 lines✦
ith its cloud of skirmishers in advance,With now the sound of a single shot snapping like a whip, and now anirregular volley,The swarming ranks press on and on, the dense brigades press on,Glittering dimly, toiling under the sun--the dust-cover'd men,In columns rise and fall to the undulations of the ground,With artillery interspers'd--the wheels rumble, the horses sweat,As the army corps advances.
