In deadly ray OF them uncared for and exposed
to every privation and want These your brethren
Do you care nothing for them
And still the work Of death goes on and still the glare
Of burning houses the smoke Of human gore the groans
of the death stricken the shreks Of slaughtered limo
mourning begins to be heard in our cities and towns
the tears Of the heart broken widow the desosto de
perty every breeze from the South bears tdines OF
to families before unsmtten and the bulletins Of
lists OF our killed and wounded All this IN the vic.
