“ The March Of The Capital Hill Patriots “
Half a league, half a league,
⁠Half a league onward,
All onward up the hill of Deceit
⁠Strode the six hundred.
"Follow Me!" was the Patriot’s cry;
Their's was of reason why,
Their's was to make reply,
Their's was to do and defy,
Onward up the hill made of Deceit
⁠Strode the six hundred.

The Senate to right of them,
The Congress to left of them,
The Capital Rotunda in front of them
⁠Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they Strode and well;
Into the jaws of the Conceit,
Into the mouth of Hell,
⁠Strode the six hundred.

Flash'd all their Frustrations bare,
Shouted all at once in air,
The Courage and Glory there,
Charging an army, while
⁠All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the anti personnel smoke
Fiercely the line they broke;
Strong was this Patriotic stroke;
Making an army reel
⁠Shaken and sunder'd.
Then they strode in, but not,
⁠Not all the six hundred.

Republicans to right of them,
Democrats to left of them,
Capital police now behind them
⁠Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
They that had struck so well
Strode thro' the jaws of Despotism,
Half a league back again,
Out from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
⁠Left of six hundred.

Honour the brave and bold!
Long shall the tale be told,
Yea, when our babes are old—
⁠How they strode onward.
