What gallant battalions came forth for the right, -
Their carbines and sabres reflecting the light
As flame-lances boreal flash on the night;
'Neath guidons and standards, their courage aglow,
With the swiftness of arrows as shot from the bow,
The steel of our horsemen sped home on the foe:
We dashed o'er the field like the sweep of a gale;
We parried their missiles and smote through their mail;
Boasted Ashby and Stuart fall back from the shook
As buffeted surges recoil from a rock.
