BY JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER 1807–1892 John Greenleaf Whittier Up from the meadows rich with corn, Clear in the cool September morn, The clustered spires of Frederick stand Green-walled by the hills of Maryland.
Up the street came the rebel tread,
Stonewall Jackson riding ahead.
It shivered the window, pane and sash;
It rent the banner with seam and gash.
March on!” he said.
All day long through Frederick street
Sounded the tread of marching feet: All day long that free flag tost Over the heads of the rebel host.
Over Barbara Frietchie’s grave
Flag of Freedom and Union, wave!
