Excerpt from The Ulster Guard at Gettysburg on the First Three Days of July, 1863

The enemy's van was at them. And where was our army delayed?

In a belfry stood gallant Buford, and watched for the northern aid.

The dust of the First Corp '3 coming was a trailing, glorious cloud.

The full, red disk on the banners was a sun-like symbol and proud.

The blue-coated succor and rescue marched up the Emmitsburg road And across the swale where, not know ing, Stevens Run peacefully flowed.

Welcome, magnificent, thrilling was the spectacle to behold, As the ranks, at double-quick moving throu' the harvest '8 swaying gold, Swept up Oak Ridge and deployed there, on the crest, in battle array, Their arms and accouterments gleaming in the July light of day.
