VISION OF THE HEROES OF POLAND.

TRANSLATED FROM ORTLEPP.

Mounting at the trumpet's callFrom their cold graves one and all,I beheld around me farPoland's mighty men of war.
At the clanging bugle's blastTroops of horse are forming fast;At the rolling of the drumThe foot around the eagle come,
Round the eagle that gleams and glowsAs the sunbeams shine on snows.The music sounds the bold "Advance,"As leading to the joyous dance.
Mighty Kosciusko towersHigh before the mustering Powers,That present the flashing steel,And glad huzzas to greet him peal.
