Liberty and Law
a Poem for the Hour


By E1BE1DeE JEFFERSON
The drum, Wild roll awakes fife is calling shri
Ten starry banners blaze on town and bay and nil
Our crowded tobbing with the soldiers measured
tramp
Among or bIaaed enrnhe am the white tents ofhe camp
The thunders rising hush Labors drowsy hum
And heavy ground the first dark drops OF battle come
The souls q the narrow heart EXPANDS
And woman brings her patient faith her hands
Thank God yet though Ong in trance We
Thank God the fathers blush their sons to-day
Oh sad AMI weeks went by,eaeh he'd his anxious
breath,
