The cruel shot has done but half its work , He lives , though overthroAvn : A kindlier bullet would have closed his eyes At once , to open them in Paradise . His comradesone and allhave left the fight

But all are gone , Giaour and Moslem too , And now there gathers round War ' s fell menagerie , that hateful crew Of camp-attendants , found Most useful scavengers , both bird and beast , Unbidden guests at many a funeral feast .
With flashing steel he keeps the carrion troop A long Avhile at arm's length ; But they press on more fierce , as ' gins to droop Their valiant quarry's strength . See ! a bold raven perches on his heart ! Oh ! War ! how grand and glorious thou art !
