  1. An Incident of '98

    Share Share Post
    I
    There are soldiers in the market-place,
    The judge is in the town,
    And justice stern-faced, hand-made law
    Now wears her darkest frown.
    'Tis the year of tears and troubles,
    'Tis the year of blood and fate,
    Of blackened hearths and roofless homes,
    The year of '98.
    II
    For the prisoners to the court house
    The soldiers clear the way,
    The fate of two young lives
    Shall be determined to-day.
    Through surging lines of clanesmen
    The youthful rebels pass,
    But not an arm is raised to save -
    Stands mute each gallow-glass.
