Rejoicings in the Rebel Camp

by (1859–1913)

Listen in the reader

Were great indeed that night; Each tent hung out a Chinese lamp To celebrate the fight.

They sang and shouted, o'er and o'er, Until their throats were tired; They let off fireworks by the score, A "feu de joie" was fired.

When Wolf, who's not a marksman good, Shot holes in Bear's new hat, Bear never even said, "You should Apologise for that!"

In short, they would, as like as not, Have kept it up till day; Had someone not found out they'd shot Their powder all away.
