A Poem to Wilmington's "Battle of Greenfield"-- Part 2

To slumber in darkness should not be its fate,
But to shine on the pages of story.

For true were the patriots engaged in that strife,
To valor, to freedom, their country--
Though they drew not a sword nor a glittering knife,
They were crowned with the laurels of victory.

Long, long has it been since the dark cloud of war,
Insultingly threatened our town,
Yet the renowned plain of Greenfield still beams from afar,
With lustre of its glorious renown.

A Bit, As You Say, Tongue-In-Cheek.  --Brock-Perry
