Washington had never seen a grin On an American face Till now It had war written all over it But, the battle had just begun The trees had dropped dead In the icy breeze Catching a glimpse of the water In the icy calm of Delaware... Preface Hessians and Brits Were in their rightful wits They were jostling for another win After losing New York For Washington, it meant the **** "Victory or Death" so it seemed The American Plan Historians say we were 3000 troops short But, I say we were 2400 brave men up The crossing of the Delaware River Became the manoeuvre of the 18th century December 26, 1776 The whistling of winds amidst wailing bloodied soldiers The fury of gunfire ripping the chests of a hundred Hessians The command of American advancement with 2400 troops All led to cover taken behind the Trenton houses By the British stooges The End Of Hessian Troops Germans had become notorious for drinking And by now Their senses had yielded And the night had redacted their bloodthirst One must say, Warriors glance and prospect Winners celebrate and revel Americans were about to Descend unto sudden death without suspicion or suspect However, with sudden death comes everlasting glory For example, a battle of belligerence depicted by Emanuel Leutze in "Washington Crossing The Delaware" That was the Battle of Trenton, my friends at Hello Poetry

The War Cry That Ended The Battle
Washington had never seen a grin On an American face Till now It had war written all over it But, the battle had just begun The trees had dropped dead In the icy breeze Catching a glimpse of the water In the icy calm of Delaware... Preface Hessians and Brits Were in their rightful wits They were jostling for another win After losing New York For Washington, it meant the **** "Victory or Death" so it seemed The American Plan Historians say we were 3000 troops short But, I say we were 2400 brave men up The crossing of the Delaware River Became the manoeuvre of the 18th century December 26, 1776 The whistling of winds amidst wailing bloodied soldiers The fury of gunfire ripping the chests of a hundred Hessians The command of American advancement with 2400 troops All led to cover taken behind the Trenton houses By the British stooges The End Of Hessian Troops Germans had become notorious for drinking And by now Their senses had yielded And the night had redacted their bloodthirst One must say, Warriors glance and prospect Winners celebrate and revel Americans were about to Descend unto sudden death without suspicion or suspect However, with sudden death comes everlasting glory For example, a battle of belligerence depicted by Emanuel Leutze in "Washington Crossing The Delaware" That was the Battle of Trenton, my friends at Hello Poetry
