Excerpt from Letters Journals of Samuel Gridley Howe During the Greek Revolution, 1906
The Hero
"Smile not, fair unbeliever!
One man, at least, I know
Who might wear the crest of Bayard
Or Sidney's plume of snow.
"Once, when over purple mountains
Died away the Grecian sun,
And the far Cyllenian ranges
Paled and darkened, one by one, -
"Fell the Turk, a bolt of thunder,
Cleaving all the quiet sky,
And against his sharp steel lightnings
Stood the Suliote but to die.
"Woe for the weak and halting!
The crescent blazed behind
A curing line of sabres,
Like fire before the wind!
"Last to fly and first to rally,
Rode he of whom I speak,
When, groaning, in his bridle-path
Sank down a wounded Greek.
"With the rich Albanian costume
Wet with many a ghastly stain,
Gazing on earth and sky as one
Who might not gaze again!
"He looked forward to the mountains,
Back on foes that never spare,
Then flung him from his saddle,
And placed the stranger there.
"'Allah! hu!' Through flashing sabres
Through a stormy hail of lead,
The good Thessalian charger
Up the slopes of olives sped.
