EVENING STAR.
NOW.

ArSe. for ths day is passing,
While YOU lie dreaming on;
Ynur b.Othrrs are caSed IN armor,
And forth to the fight are gone:
Your place in the ranks awaits you;
Eich man has part 70 play;
The past and the future are nothing
In the face Of the stern to-day.
Arise from your dreams Of the future
uf gaining hard-fought field;
OF st0Tming the airy fortress;
OF bidding the giant yield
Your future has deeds Of glory,
OF honor God grant il may y
But your sIm will never BE- stronger,
Or needed as nOw-to-day.
Arise If the past detain you,
Her sunshine and storms forget;
No chains so unworthy 10 hold you
u those Of vain regret;
Sal or bright she is lifeless ever;
Cas; her phantom arms away,
Nor IsOk back, save 10 learn the lesson
Oh nCbleT strife to-day.
Arse. 70: the hour Is passing;
The sound that you dimly hear,
Is your enemy marching 10 battle;
Rise rise tor the foe is here
Stay not 10 brighten your weapons,
Or The hour will strike al iast;
And. from dreams of a coming battle,
You will waken and find il past.
