THE VULTURE'S CALL.

Come--sisters--come!
The din of arms is rising from the vale,
Bright arms are glittering in the morning sun
And trumpet tones are ringing in the gale!
Hurrah-hurrah!
As fast and far
We hurry to behold the blithesome game of War!

Haste--sisters--haste!
The drums are booming, shrill fifes whistling clear,
