Classic Poem

Did Attila, the king of Huns, who trod
The earth commanding German, Slav, and Goth,
Disdainful of the Lord of Sabaoth,
Believe himself ordained " The Scourge of God " ?

Bearing the iron sword of Mars, and shod
In fiery sandals of red battle, wroth
He raged and died. What then befell? As froth
His gathered armies vanished! Ichabod!
