the Serenty:frt Regiment N. !. s. ".
Hush our Colonel lies In sumber,
Folded close in Deaths cold arms;
Never more he'll join our number,
Never more hear wars slarms.
Frank by nature-brave and loyal
Dearly loved and priced was he;
Now bis wreath Is more than royal
In our hearts enshrined he'll be.
Never more the drums swift beating,
Nor the clarion trumpet shrill,
Shall arouse him from his sleeping,
And his breast with ardor fill.
He was loved by all his brothers
In the camp-none more than he
Everything he shared with others,
Now we claim his memory"
And the Seventy first will cherish
All his virtues, all his aims.
II in battle we should perish,
Doing what stern duty claims,
He will gaze with satisfaction,
Smiling as he used to smile,
To reward our noble action,
And be proud Of us the WHILE
Wrap our glorious flag around him,
Let the stripes and stars be seen,
Whilst his comrades who surround him,
Swear to d" keep his memory green;"
Then will his proud soul elate him
Higher still, to camps above,
Where the angel-warriors wait him,
And a sword Of perfect love.
