A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Hanford Lennox Gordon

[May, 1861.]


Come then, brave men, from the Land of Lakes
  With steady steps and cheers;
Our country calls, as the battle breaks,
  On the Northwest Pioneers.
Let the eagle scream, and the bayonet gleam!
  Hurrah for the Volunteers!
