Molly Maguire at Monmouth
by William Collins

Surged the roar of battle round them,

Swiftly flew the iron hail,

Forward dashed a thousand bayonets,

That lone battery to assail.

From the foeman’s foremost columns

Swept a furious fusillade,

Mowing down the massed battalions

In the ranks of Greene’s Brigade.
