    THTTT^ ONE-ARM SOLDIER. Co. D, 3d Mass. Cavalry. DISABLED AT WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA. Strangers, when the fight was fiercest, Where my comrades round me fell, I was wounded in the trenches, By the bursting of a shell. Hundreds died, all crushed and mangled; Some in agony akid pain Bit the very earth peneath them, Soaked with life-blood of the slain. It was not my fate to perish In the storm of iron hail, But, a mutilated soldier, I have come to t£ll the tale That ten thousands are repeating, Through our peaceful land to-day— How they fought, and how they suffered In that din and deadly fray. * Mine is but a simple story, And I need not make it Jong; Strangers, pardon, if I ask you To buy a one-arm Soldier's song. to?
