John Greenleaf Whittier,
A Song, Inscribed to the Fremont Clubs
“ Written after the election in 1856, which showed the immense gains of the Free Soil party, and insured its success in 1860.Beneath thy skies, November! Thy skies of cloud and rain, Around our blazing camp-fires We close our ranks again. Then sound again the bugles, Call the muster-roll anew; If months have well-nigh won the field, What may not four years do?For God be praised! New England Takes once more her ancient place; Again the Pilgrim's banner Leads the vanguard of the race. ”
